Question

A plane mirror is used to form an image of a real object. Identify the wrong statement.

• A. The image is diminished.
• B. The image is erect.
• C. Image is at the same distance from mirror as that of object.
• D. The image is virtual.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The image is diminished.

Considering an extended object $AB$ in front of a plane mirror.


The image $A^{\prime }{B}^{\prime }$ is virtual, erect and of the same size as that of the object. In such case, both image distance and object distance from the plane mirror will be equal.
Hence, option $\left(a\right)$ is the correct answer.
