Which statement is wrong from the following for the reflection by plane mirror?

• A. The size of image is same as the size of the object.
• B. Object distance and image distance is same.
• C. A plane mirror forms virtual and erect image.
• D. Image of the object is not laterally inverted.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Image of the object is not laterally inverted.

The image formed by a plane mirror has following properties-

$\left(i\right)$ The size of image is same as the size of the object.

$\left(ii\right)$ Object distance in front of the mirror is same as the image distance behind the mirror.

$\left(iii\right)$ A plane mirror always formed virtual image which is erenct .

$\left(iv\right)$ The image formed by the plane mirror is laterally inverted.

Hence the $4^{th}$ choice is incorrect.

Answer-(D)
