What mirror always forms virtual image of the same size on the object?
a plane mirror (flat)
What type of mirror you should use to obtained diminished and virtual image of an object?
convex mirror
Why is the image of an object reflected from plane mirror called a virtual image?
Because the image is not real. The object is not really there, it's only virtual.
Images formed by a plane mirror?
A plane mirror forms 1 virtual image and no real image. The virtual image is behind the mirror, at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror, erect, in mirror image left-right.
What are characterstics of plane mirror?
The characteristics of the plane mirror include the virtual image is located behind a mirror, it is the same size as the object.
Which mirror can produce virtual image larger than the object?
A concave mirror.

Will an object inside a principal focus be smaller?
No, for a concave mirror the object will become larger. it is virtual the right way up and it is behind the mirror

What are characterstics of plane mirror?
The characteristics of the plane mirror include the virtual image is located behind a mirror, it is the same size as the object.
Where does your image appear to be when you look into a plane mirror?
It's a virtual reflection of the object which appears as an image as much behind the mirror as the distance of the object in front.
What type of image does a plane mirror form?
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, erect, same size as object, and laterally inverted ( left side appears right and right side appears left ). Also, the virtual image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
What forms a virtual and erect image for all positions of the object?
convex mirror
Can a plane mirror form a real image if the object is virtual?
Wow! I guess we'd have to test that one. As soon as you find a virtual object to work with, you can count me in.
What kind of image is formed in the plane mirror?
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.
