- The image formed by a plane mirror is erect, laterally inverted, and of the same size as that of the object.
- The left side of the object appears on the right side of the image.
- Also, the distance of the image from the plane mirror is the same as the distance between the plane mirror and the object.
Solution 2
- The plane mirror forms an erect image.
