The image formed by a plane mirror is:
AReal and equally inverted
BVirtual and laterally inverted
CReal and clearly magnified
DVirtual and clearly diminished
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Virtual and laterally inverted
1. A plane mirror always produces a virtual image (light only appears to come from behind).
2. The image is erect, the same size as the object, and equally far behind the mirror.
3. It is laterally inverted (left ↔ right swap) — that's why writing reads mirror-reversed.
