Does a plane mirror always form the image of an object exactly on the plane reflecting surface?
A plane mirror doesn't 'really' form an image at all. The image is 'virtual', not 'real'. You see what appears to be an image. It's located at the same distance behind the reflecting surface as the actual object is in front of it. If a real image exists, you can always put a piece of frosted glass, photo-film, or tissue paper where the image is, and capture it. You can't do that with a plane mirror.
What image do you see of yourself in a plane mirror?
the image upright, virtual and the same size as you..
How tall should a mirror be to see a full vertical image?
according to the formula h/2,the minimum size of the plane mirror must be half the size of the object.
You look at yourself in a plane mirror What do you see?
An upright, virtual image of yourself the same size as you.
What is the required size of plane mirror to see full length of an object?
Half your height
The image you see in a plane mirror appears to be at what distance?
behind the mirror. The object appears to be behind the mirror

Is the image you see in a plane mirror a real image or a virtual image?
virtual :-)
What image you can see when you look at your self in a plane mirror?
You see yourself.
What image do you see of yourself in a plane mirror?
the image upright, virtual and the same size as you..
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.
How tall should a mirror be to see a full vertical image?
according to the formula h/2,the minimum size of the plane mirror must be half the size of the object.
Is your image in a mirror the same size as it actually is?
It depends on what mirror are you looking at. If you use a plane mirror it will be in the same size but if you use the mirror in the car you will see a bigger image.
What will be the difference in the size of the image of the same object formed by a small and large plane mirror?
A plane mirror has angle of incidence == angle of reflection and creates a virtual image . The size is +1 - its the SAME SIZE + means upright ( being virtual ) . Only difference is you can see MORE of yourself in a larger mirror against a smaller one.
What is the difference between using a clear glass and mirror for reflection?
On a sheet of clear glass, you may see a very faint image from the top plane and another very faint image from the bottom plane. The majority of the light will pass through the glass. On a mirror, you will see a throughly strong image from the bottom plane. The very faint image reflected from the top plane is still present, but it is washed out by the image from the bottom plane.
What is effect of plane mirror on human body?
Directly, none. A plane mirror is capable of reflecting light so you would be able to see an image of yourself.
Why do you see your reflection when you look in a mirror and not when you look at a book?
The image is reflected from a reflective object, in this case [your mirror], as a Book is not a mirror, it is not reflected.
