Question

A : The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual.

R : Image formed in a plane mirror is always equal in size.

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
• B. Both A and R are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.
• C. A is correct but R is incorrect.
• D. A is incorrect but R is correct.
• E. Both A and R are incorrect.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Both A and R are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Image generated by the plane mirror

1. Image generated by the plane mirror is inverted.
2. The image is upright. The size of the image corresponds to the size of the object.
3. The distance between the resulting images is the same as the distance between the object and the mirror.

So Both A and R are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Hence correct option is B
