the ray that passes from the object, when gets reflected from the plane mirror,the imaginary ray that passes from the mirror meets at a point behind mirror but the original do not meet actually.so the image formed by plane mirror is virtual.

What image formed by a plane mirror?

The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual image.


What kind of image is formed in the plane mirror?

An image in a plane mirror is created by the light rays reflecting off the reflective surface of a mirror. The image is always virtual because the light rays remain parallel, meaning they never pass through a focal point. The image is actual size, inverted, and always virtual. When light strikes a plane mirror, the angle of incidence will always equal the angle of reflection.


What image is formed by a convex mirror?

The image is always virtual,smaller,and erect at any distance in which the object is placed.


Is it true that an image formed by a convex mirror is always inverted?

No, an image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and upright. Concave mirrors can form both real and inverted images.


The image formed by a convex mirror?

The image formed by the convex mirror is virtual, erect and diminished.


How is the image formed by a concave lens similar to the image formed by a convex mirror?

In a concave lens the object always forms a virtual image. The convex lens also forms a virtual image.


When does a convex mirror form real image?

A convex mirror always forms a virtual image, meaning that the light rays appear to be coming from a point behind the mirror. Thus, a real image is never formed by a convex mirror.


Describe the images formed in a concave mirror and in a convex mirror?

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.


Can a convex form an image that is enlarged real and upright?

No, a convex mirror can only produce virtual images that are diminished and upright. The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and located behind the mirror.


When an object is inside the focal point of a concave mirror what kind of image always results?

An upright image, which is called a virtual image. If the focal point was outside of a concave mirror, then it would be a real image, which is inverted.


Which is the properties describes the nature of the image formed by a convex mirror?

The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual, upright, and smaller in size than the object. This type of mirror produces a wider field of view compared to a concave mirror.


What are the images formed by a convex mirror?

convex mirror always form virtual, erect image
