Question

The image created by the plane mirror is virtual, behind the mirror and larger ? correct or wrong​

Answer 1

Answer:

Wrong, the image created by a plane mirror is virtual and behind the mirror but is not larger. It's the same size of the object.

Answer 2

Statement:

"The image created by the plane mirror is virtual, behind the mirror and larger."

$\boxed{ \bf \implies \: wrong \: statement}$

Reasons:

• A plane mirror is a regular reflecting surface with infinite radius of curvature.

• When an object is kept in front of a plane mirror , it produces image of the object behind the mirror , i.e. a virtual image is produced.

• The object distance from the mirror is equal to the image distance from the mirror.

• The magnification of the image is +1, which means that the image height will be equal to the object height.

So, the correct statement should be:

The image created by the plane mirror is virtual, behind the mirror and same size as that of the object.
