When light strikes a plane mirrior , images form in locations where light does not actually reach. It only appears to the observer as though the light were coming from this position. What type of images is formed? A)real image B)virtual image C)duplicate image D)imaginary image

B)virtual image

Explanation:

A plane mirror is a flat surface that reflects light coming from an object. It works on the principle of reflection.

Reflection occurs when a ray of light hits a surface, bouncing off into the original medium at a different angle.

The image produced by a flat mirror has the following characteristics:

- It appears on the other side of the mirror, relative to the position of the image --> we say that the image is virtual (it cannot be projected on a screen)

- It is upright, as the object

- It is laterally inverted (left-right)

- It is the same size as the object in front of the mirror

Therefore, the correct option in this question is

B)virtual image
