The image is virtual and appears to be as much behind the mirror as the distance a person is away from the mirror.
No, a plane mirror cannot form a real image. It forms a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of it.
A plane mirror does not form a real image. It produces a virtual image, which appears to be behind the mirror and is the same size and orientation as the object being reflected.
"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.
A plane mirror forms a virtual image because the reflected rays do not actually converge to form an image behind the mirror, but appear to diverge from a point behind the 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.
NO its not

virtual :-)
A convergent beam of light incident on a plane mirror will form a real and inverted image.
No, to get a real image from a mirror it must be able to focus light (which flat mirrors can't do).

A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface
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.
No, a plane mirror can only form virtual and upright images. The image produced by a plane mirror appears to be behind the mirror, the same distance as the object in front of the mirror, and is always the same size as the object.
