The image is of the same size as the object
The image depicts only the shape of the object​

Answer 1

Answer:

"The image depicts only the shape of the object​", this statement is not true regarding image formed by a plane mirror.

Explanation:

An image formed by a plane mirror has the following characteristics:

• A virtual picture is always formed by a plane mirror (behind the mirror).
• It is erect and of equal size to the object.
• The object's distance from the plane mirror is the same as the image's distance from the plane mirror.
• The image is laterally inverted, which is one of its most distinguishing features. It means that if you raise your left hand, the plane mirror will see you raise your right hand.
