The nature of image formed when we look into a
(a) Plane mirror - Size of the image of our face same.
(b) Concave mirror - When the face is held a little away from the mirror, the image is inverted. When held very close to the face, the image appears erect.
(c ) Convex mirror - the image appears erect but diminished in size for any position of the face.
