How can you describe the image formed by a plane mirror? a. inverted and reversed c. upright and reversed b. inverted and not reversed d. upright and not reversed

Respuesta :

Upright and reversed due to its infinite focal point.

Answer:

c. upright and reversed

Explanation:

As we know that plane mirror is a mirror with infinite focal length

So here as the object is placed at some distance from the mirror

so we can say by mirror formula

[tex]\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}[/tex]

now since focal length is infinite here

[tex]d_o = -d_i[/tex]

so here object and its image will be at same distance as the distance of object from the mirror

Also we know that here magnification is given as

[tex]M = 1[/tex]

so image will be upright and virtual. Also in case of plane mirror the image will be lateral inversion.
