How can you describe the image formed by a plane mirror? a. inverted and reversed c. upright and reversed b. inverted and not reversed d. upright and not reversed
Answer:
c. upright and reversed
Explanation:
As we know that plane mirror is a mirror with infinite focal length
So here as the object is placed at some distance from the mirror
so we can say by mirror formula
\(\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}\)
now since focal length is infinite here
\(d_o = -d_i\)
so here object and its image will be at same distance as the distance of object from the mirror
Also we know that here magnification is given as
\(M = 1\)
so image will be upright and virtual. Also in case of plane mirror the image will be lateral inversion.
