When diverging rays from a point source fall on the plane mirror, after reflection would once again diverge and never get a chance of converging. So any diverging rays cannot form a real image and they are considered to be coming from one point and that point is taken to be the virtual image.

Can plane mirror form real image?

No, a plane mirror cannot form a real image. It forms a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of it.


How does a plane mirror form a real image?

A plane mirror does not form a real image. It produces a virtual image, which appears to be behind the mirror and is the same size and orientation as the object being reflected.


What is the image form by a plane mirror?

How image form in a plane mirrors?

In 'a' plane mirror only 'one' image is formed.


Describe the image form mirror by a plane mirror?

The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright, and the same size as the object. The image appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror. The orientation of the image is laterally inverted, meaning left and right are switched.


If a convergent beam of light is incident on a plane mirror then what type of image will it form?

A convergent beam of light incident on a plane mirror will form a real and inverted image.

Can a plane mirror ever form an inverted an image?

no.


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.


Is using a plane mirror to form virtual image one of its uses?

A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.


Can a plane mirror form real and inverted image?

No, a plane mirror can only form virtual and upright images. The image produced by a plane mirror appears to be behind the mirror, the same distance as the object in front of the mirror, and is always the same size as the object.
