Is the reflecting surface of a sculpture a plane surface like that of a plane mirror?

No. It is not a plane surface like that of a plane mirror because a plane mirror is straight and it does not have any curve in it. the sculpture's surface is like that of a Convex Mirror

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.
Characteristics of a plane mirror?
surface which reflects angles of incidence.
Which term is the best description of the surface of a plane mirror?
Flat
What are the differences between plane mirror and spherical mirror?
A plane mirror is flat, so your image is the same size as you. A spherical mirror is curved. If concave it can be used either to focus an image as in a reflecting telescope, or magnify as in a shaving/makeup mirror. If convex you get a smaller wide-angled image, as in a car's wing mirror
Why is the surface of a mirror smooth?
Otherwise the image formed will be blurred and mostly distorted. That is why we expect the surface of the mirror to be optically plane. Hence smooth.
What is a curve mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
What is curved mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).

What part of a reflecting telescope form the image?
a concave mirror and an angled plane mirror
What is the term for a mirror with a flat surface?
plane mirror
What kind of mirror has a flat surface?
plane mirror
What is effect of plane mirror on human body?
Directly, none. A plane mirror is capable of reflecting light so you would be able to see an image of yourself.
What is the use of reflecting telescope?
a. concave mirror b. a convex lens c. a plane mirror or d. all the above.
A plane mirror is one with a surface?
flat
What is bevelling?
When something is beveled, it is cut or finished "at a slant" to a reference plane. Take a beveled mirror. The surface of the mirror is flat, but the edges are cut (ground off, actually) at an angle to the plane of the surface of the mirror. That part of the mirror that was ground down is the bevel.

Flat
Characteristics of a plane mirror?
