An image in a plane mirror is created by the light rays reflecting off the reflective surface of a mirror. The image is always virtual because the light rays remain parallel, meaning they never pass through a focal point. The image is actual size, inverted, and always virtual. When light strikes a plane mirror, the angle of incidence will always equal the angle of reflection.

∙ 13y agoThe image formed by a plane mirror is
-- virtual (not a real image)
-- erect
-- same size as the object
-- laterally inverted (left side appears right and right side appears left )
The virtual image is located
-- the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror, and
-- on a line from the object that is perpendicular to the mirror surface.

What kind of mirror do you have if reflected rays of light pass through the principle focus when light hits a mirror parallel to the principle axis?
plane mirror
What kind of image is created when an object is placed in front of a plane mirror?
A virtual erect image of the same size of the object is formed.
What kind of mirror produce only virtual image?
Plane and convex mirrors produce only virtual images.
What kind of mirror has a flat surface?
plane mirror
What kind of mirror that produces only virtual image?
Bathroom mirror.
What kind of mirror magnifies the image of an item close to it?
The mirror is called concave.
A typical mirror in a persons house is an example of what kind of mirror?
A flat plane.
What kind of image do you see when you look in the mirror?
reflection
What kind of mirror can form an inlarged image?
CONVEX
O What kind of image do you see using a convex mirror?
we see a diminished and virtual image in a convex mirror provided the object is not kept on the focus of the mirror.
Why is a concave mirror better for gathering light than a plane mirror on a telescope?
-- A concave mirror gathers the light and bunches it up all in one place, called the "focus" of the mirror. There's a "real image" at that place, and you can capture it with a piece of ground glass, tissue, photo-film, or light-sensitive device at that place. -- A plane mirror doesn't gather anything. It just kind of sends the light back toward where it came from. It doesn't form any real image, and there's nothing to capture.
What kind of image is not formed by real light rays?
Virtual image
What kind of image is formed by a concave image?
image formed by the concave lens will be erect , virtual and smaller than the size of object.
