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.

No, because the image will always be on the opposite to the side where the reflected rays lie....

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.


Is the image you see in a plane mirror a real image or a virtual image?

virtual :-)


Pictures of real image formed by plane mirror?

When the incident light rays are falling towards the mirror in such a way that the light rays after falling on the mirror meet at any point in front of the mirror than an image is formed in front of the mirror which can be taken on a screen and as the image can be taken on a screen it is known as a real image. So, plane mirrors can form real images.


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.


Can you get a real image using a plane mirror?

No, to get a real image from a mirror it must be able to focus light (which flat mirrors can't do).


does a plane mirror produces a real image?

"Real" and "virtual" are two opposite, mutually exclusive categories of images. An image is either one or the other, and no image can be both. The image produced by a plane mirror is a virtual one.
