Answer 1

Answer :- Image formation by a plane mirror .

We are able to see images using a mirror. Image formed by a mirror (flat) has following features :-

1.) Reflected image retains the colour of the object .

2.) Image is erect but laterally inverted .

3.) Lateral inversion: Right side of the object appears as left side in the image formed by a plane mirror. For example , if we show our right hand , image in the mirror will show it's left hand.

4.) It forms a virtual image .

5.) Image is formed at the same distance behind the mirror as the objects in front of the mirror .
