Question

state the characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror
pls answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

• A plane mirror always forms a virtual image (behind the mirror).
• A plane mirror always forms a virtual image (behind the mirror).The image and object are the same distance from a flat mirror, the image size is the same as the object size, and the image is upright.

Answer 2

Question:

State the characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror.

Answer:

Characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror are:

• The image formed is erect. (same side up)

Laws of reflection:

• The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.
• The incident ray, reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence all lie on the same plane.

What is incident ray?

The ray which strikes the mirror surface is known as the incident ray.

What is reflected ray?

The ray of light which bounces back from the mirror surface after reflection is known as reflected ray.

What is normal?

Normal is the line drawn perpendicular to the mirror surface at the point of incidence.

What is point of incidence?

The point on the mirror surface at which the incident ray strikes the mirror and the reflected ray bounces off is known as point of incidence.
