What is the magnification of a plane mirror?
A plane mirror does not change the size of the (virtual) image reflected from it. Therefore, the magnification is 1.
What describes image formation by a plane mirror?
The image in a plane mirror is the same size as the object, the same distance from the mirror, upright and laterally inverted.
Why does image formed in a plane mirror is always virtual?
the ray that passes from the object, when gets reflected from the plane mirror,the imaginary ray that passes from the mirror meets at a point behind mirror but the original do not meet actually.so the image formed by plane mirror is virtual.
Creates an image that appears behind the mirror as light bounces back and forth between the mirror and the object being reflected?

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.
Definition of plane mirror?
A plane mirror is a mirror which is completely flat, easier for your image to be reflected.
What is the magnification of a plane mirror?
A plane mirror does not change the size of the (virtual) image reflected from it. Therefore, the magnification is 1.
Is using a plane mirror to form virtual image one of its uses?
A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.

How is your image in a plane mirror different from the real you?
The image is virtual and appears to be as much behind the mirror as the distance a person is away from the mirror.
What image formed by a plane mirror?
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual image.
What creates an image that appears behide the mirror as light bounces back and forth between the mirror and the object being reflected?
This would be plane mirrors.
Can a plane mirror form a real image?
No it can not. It would have to be concave or convex(not sure which). A real image would be if you looked at the mirror and on the wall next to you were projected.
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.
