You can see an image of an object in a plane mirror when light rays bouncing off the object are reflected by the mirror towards your eyes. This creates a virtual image that appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. The image in the mirror appears laterally inverted, meaning left and right are reversed.
What else can I help you with?
What is the minimum size of plane mirror required to see the full image of an object?
The minimum size of a plane mirror required to see the full image of an object is equal to the size of the object itself. This is because the mirror needs to be large enough to reflect the entire object and capture the full image.
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.
What are the conditions for seeing the image of an object in a plane mirror?
-- Light has to shine on the object, and some of it has to reflect off of the object. -- Some of the reflected light has to make it to the mirror. There can't be any physical obstruction in the path. -- The mirror has to be clean enough so that some of the light hitting the mirror is reflected away from it. -- Your eye has to be on the path taken by the light after it reflects from the mirror.
What we see in a plane mirror?
In a plane mirror, we see a reflection of ourselves or objects placed in front of it. The image formed in a plane mirror is virtual, meaning it cannot be projected onto a screen. The reflection appears to be the same size and distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
What image do you see of yourself in a plane mirror?
When you look at yourself in a plane mirror, you see a laterally inverted image of yourself. This means that left and right are switched in the image you see in the mirror, but up and down remain the same.

The image you see in a plane mirror appears to be at what distance?
The image seen in a plane mirror appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. This is because light rays reflect off the mirror and create a virtual image that appears behind the mirror at the same distance.

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

What image you can see when you look at your self in a plane mirror?
You see yourself.
What must be the minimum length of a plane mirror in order for you to be able to see a full-length image of yourself?
The minimum length of a plane mirror needed to see a full-length image of yourself is half of your total height. This is because the mirror only needs to reflect the upper half of your body, and the image in the mirror will appear to be the same size as the actual object.
What would happen if a glass plate is replaced by a plane mirror?
If a glass plate is replaced by a plane mirror, the mirror will reflect an image of the objects in front of it. The mirror will not refract light like the glass plate would, and the reflected image will appear to be at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
What image do you see in a mirror that results from the apparent path of light rays?
The image you see in a mirror is a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror. It is a reflection of the object, with the light rays bouncing off the mirror in a way that creates the illusion of an image appearing to come from the mirror itself.
Is your image in a mirror the same size as it actually is?
It depends on what mirror are you looking at. If you use a plane mirror it will be in the same size but if you use the mirror in the car you will see a bigger image.
