The reflection in a plane mirror appears to be a mirror image, which means left and right are swapped. So, when the man raises his left hand, the mirror image will show the hand on the right side.

Explain why when a man raises his left hand in a plane mirror the image facing him is raising his right hand?

In a plane mirror, the object's left side is reflected as the mirror image's right side. So when a man raises his left hand in front of a plane mirror, the image facing him appears to be raising its right hand because the mirror reverses the left-right orientation of the objects it reflects.

How does the image in a plane mirror differ form the object?

I'm assuming you are referring to a flat mirror. The image in a flat mirror is the reverse of what is casting the reflection. To test this, stand in front of a mirror, and raise your right hand. The image in the mirror will actually be raising it's left hand. If you picture that image turning around to face the same way you're facing (so you're looking at it's back) the raised hand would be on the images left, and in the imagined scenario, on your left.

What is the plane mirror explain formation of images by a plane mirror?

A plane mirror is a flat, smooth surface that reflects light without distorting the image. When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, the light rays bounce off the mirror and create a virtual image that appears to be the same size and distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. This image is laterally inverted, meaning left and right are reversed.

Is a plane mirror a virtual or real image?

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.
