Because when used, the object (your face) is closer to the mirror than the focal length. Move a long way off and things will change.
Bathroom mirror.
A mirror which produces an erect diminshed virtual image is a)concave mirror b)convex mirror c)plane mirror d)none of these
"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 virtual image.
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.

yes it always produces a virtual image. it is always erect. Its size is always diminshed. Distance from the mirror is always between Focus and Pole
Its called a virtual image.
virtual :-)
A virtual image.
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual image.
A mirror.
A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.

Here is a description of image formation in a concave mirror: if the object is beyond the center of curvature (F), the image formed is real and upside down; if the object is very near to the concave mirror, the image forms behind the mirror. It is virtual, upright, and bigger in size. Here is a description of image formation in a convex mirror: a convex mirror always produces a virtual, upright, and smaller image of the object at any distance in front of it. The image is located behind the mirror.
