Can a plane mirror form an inverted image of an object?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, a plane mirror always forms a virtual and erect image of an object. So the image formed by a plane mirror is never inverted. It should be noted that the distance of the image from the mirror is the same as the object distance and the image is laterally inverted.
