Question

With the help of a labelled ray diagram described how a plane mirror forms an image of a point source of light placed in front of it. State the characteristics of the image formed in a plane mirror

Answer 1

Answer:

So, the person looking into the mirror from position E sees the reflected rays as if they are coming from the point I behind the mirror. Thus, the point I is the image of the object O formed by the plane mirror. The image produced by the plane mirror is virtual, laterally inverse and of the same size as the object.
