A virtual image is formed when diverging rays appear to converge at a point behind the mirror or lens. If the rays do not actually converge, a virtual image cannot be formed. This can happen with concave mirrors for objects placed within the focal point, or with diverging lenses.

Describe the image form mirror by a plane mirror?

The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright, and the same size as the object. The image appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror. The orientation of the image is laterally inverted, meaning left and right are switched.


Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?

A convex mirror forms a virtual image. The reflected rays diverge away from each other, and when extended backward, they appear to meet at a point behind the mirror. This virtual image is always upright and smaller than the object.

Why does plane mirror form virtual image?

A plane mirror forms a virtual image because the rays of light appear to be coming from behind the mirror, where the image is located. The image appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, creating the illusion of a virtual image.
