Questions Related to formation of image in a plane mirror

The nature of the image formed by a plane mirror is :

evs reflection of light by plane surfaces characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror formation of image in a plane mirror characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror

  1. virtual and erect

  2. of the same size as the object

  3. laterally inverted

  4. all the above are correct

Show answer
Correct Option: D

The sideways reversal of the image by plane mirror is called

evs reflection of light by plane surfaces characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror formation of image in a plane mirror characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror

  1. lateral inversion

  2. parallex

  3. optical illusion

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Lateral inversion is the side ways reversal of the image's left and right when compared that of object.Lateral inversion is observed in images formed by plane mirror 

In case of plane mirror, the size of the image is equal to the size of the object, irrespective of the distance of the object from the mirror.

evs reflection of light by plane surfaces characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror formation of image in a plane mirror characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Magnification of a plane mirror is unity irrespective of distance of object from the mirror.

The image of a real object in a plane mirror is always:

  1. Virtual

  2. Erect

  3. Laterally inverted with respect to the object

  4. All of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It should be remembered that `plane mirror always form virtual, errect and laterally inverted image.

State whether true or false.
The image formed by a plane mirror is of the same size as the object.

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Images formed by plane mirrors are virtual, upright, left-right reversed, the same distance from the mirror as the object's distance, and the same size as the object.

Which of these are characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror?

evs reflection of light by plane surfaces characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror formation of image in a plane mirror characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror

  1. The image is virtual

  2. The image is erect

  3. The image formed is of the same size as that of 
    the object

  4. The image is laterally inverted

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B,C,D
Explanation:

Image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual, errect, laterally inverted (sideways inverted) with unit magnification.
