Images in a plain mirror are laterally inverted due to the way light reflects off the surface. When light rays from an object strike the mirror, they reflect back at the same angle, but the orientation of the object is reversed. This means that the left side of the object appears on the right side of the image and vice versa, creating a lateral inversion. Thus, features like text appear reversed in a mirror, as the reflection swaps their positions horizontally.

How a plain mirror can form a real image?
A plain mirror cannot form a real image; it only produces virtual images. A virtual image is formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror, making it seem as though the image is located there. In contrast, a real image is created when light rays converge and can be projected onto a screen, which plain mirrors do not do. For real images, concave mirrors or lenses are typically required.
How does a plain mirror form a virtual image?
As you may know the only reason we see anything is because light is reflected off it. Turn the light off in your room and you see "nothing", turn it on and everything is visible (mostly). Mirrors are highly reflective surfaces, so any light that hits them will bounce back as if it copying said light. As surfaces get less and less reflective you will be able to see a less distinctive image back, for example aluminum or titanium.
How does a multi-mirror telescope differ from a traditional single-mirror telescope in terms of its design and functionality?
A multi-mirror telescope uses multiple smaller mirrors to gather and focus light, whereas a traditional single-mirror telescope uses one large mirror. This design allows multi-mirror telescopes to have a larger aperture and better image resolution. Additionally, multi-mirror telescopes can be more compact and cost-effective compared to single-mirror telescopes.
What is the name of the rocky plain on the Moon's surface where the Apollo 11 touched down?
The rocky plain on the Moon's surface where Apollo 11 touched down is called the "Sea of Tranquility" or "Mare Tranquillitatis" in Latin. It is a large basaltic plain on the Moon's surface that was selected as the landing site for the historic Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
What kind of gas is used for air balloon?
Just plain old ordinary air, but heated by the flame of the burner (which I believe burns propane gas).
Why letters appear laterally inverted in plain mirror?
this happens because they are plane

Can the image formed by a plain mirror be obtained on a screen?
Plane mirrors do not create images that can be placed on a screen, only concave mirrors can.
What are the three kinds of mirrors and what kind of images do they reflect?
The three kinds of mirrors are plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirrors. Plane mirrors reflect a virtual image that is upright and the same size as the object. Concave mirrors reflect both real and virtual images, depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. Convex mirrors always reflect virtual images that are smaller and upright.
Why is it possible to take your own photo in front of a plain mirror?
because the image formed in a plain mirror is not inveted
Is plain mirror also an spherical mirror of infinite radius?
Yes
What are the use of plain mirror in Kaleidoscopes?
There are at least 2 plane mirrors at some angle to each other in a Kaleidoscope, in order to create the symmetrically-multiple images that is the instrument's point.
Does a plain mirror have a virtual image or a real image?
A plain mirror produces a virtual image. This means the image appears to be behind the mirror and cannot be projected onto a screen.
Which is correct plane mirror or plain mirror?
A plane mirror is a flat, as opposed to convex or concave, mirror.A plain mirror is just a ordinary mirror as used in a household. These are usually flat mirrors so they are also plane mirrors.Many households have small bathroom mirrors which magnify in this case they would be concave plain mirrors and not concave plane mirrors
What is the name of the image formed by a plain mirror?
reflection?
What is plain xray?
It will depend on who says it, but often "plain x-ray" or "plain film" images are used to describe procedures using xray excluding things like CT or Fluoroscopy. If a single images is taken it will usually be considered "plain".
What type of image does a plain mirror produce?
real and upright image
