Question

A student places his hand in front of a plane mirror as shown in
the diagram. Which terms correctly describe the image that the
mirror forms?
A true orientation, inverted, and virtual.
B reversed orientation, erect, and virtual.
C reversed orientation, erect, and real.
D true orientation, inverted, and real.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A:

Explanation:

Plane mirrors always form virtual images meaning although the object appears to be in the other side of the mirror the light rays actually originate in front of it. The image is inverted meaning that when you lift your right hand it shows your left hand rising. and with true orientation.

Answer 2

Reversed orientation, erect, and virtual terms correctly describe the image that the mirror forms.

To find the correct option among all the options, we need to know about the properties of image formed by a plane mirror.

What are the properties of image formed by a plane mirror?

The properties of image formed by a plane mirror are as follows

• It's virtual.
• The object distance is equal to the image distance.
• The image is side ways inverted i.e. right side of object seems as left side of image and vice versa but it is erect along height.
• Image size is same as that of object.

What is a virtual image?

• The virtual image is not inverted.
• It cannot be projected on the screen.
• Virtual image is formed by plane mirror. We can also get virtual image by concave and convex lens by proper object distance.

Thus, we can conclude that the option (b) is correct.
