Question

Choose the correct statement(s) regarding image formation in a plane mirror?

• A. To get a diminished image, we would require a significantly smaller mirror.

• C. Size of the mirror does not affect the size of the image.
• D. Only size of the object determines the size of the image.

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

Only size of the object determines the size of the image.

In a plane mirror, the size of the image is always equal to the size of the object, irrespective of the size of the mirror or its distance from the object. Plane mirror can never enlarge or diminish any object.
