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.
The 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.
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual image.

plane mirror
A virtual erect image of the same size of the object is formed.
Plane and convex mirrors produce only virtual images.

The mirror is called concave.
A flat plane.

CONVEX
we see a diminished and virtual image in a convex mirror provided the object is not kept on the focus of the mirror.
-- 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.
Virtual image
image formed by the concave lens will be erect , virtual and smaller than the size of object.
