How is the image formed in a plane mirror?

Solution

The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object, it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come.
