No, a plane mirror can never form a real image. This is because in all possible situations of image formation, the light rays never actually meet after getting reflected, but they only appear to meet behind the mirror, forming a virtual image always.

Can a plane mirror form a real image? I came across this question in an examination. We know that a plane mirror forms virtual images of objects, But how can a plane mirror form a real image of an

A plane mirror cannot form a real image. When light rays strike a plane mirror, they reflect according to the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

2024年4月4日 · Yes, a plane mirror can form a real image. A plane mirror can form a real image only for a virtual object. These converging rays of incident light after reflection intersect at a point to give a real image.

Only concave mirrors can form real images. Even though the image formed by a plane mirror is upright, it is laterally inverted. In other words, the left and right sides of an object are reversed in the image formed by a plane mirror.

2017年10月9日 · Image can be formed by producing the light rays backwards. Such an image is called a virtual image, as the light rays do not actually intersect, but only do so when produced backwards. For this: One should draw a light ray from the …

A straight line drawn from part of an object to the corresponding part of its image makes a right angle with, and is bisected by, the surface of the plane mirror. The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image) it is not real image (meaning that the light rays do actually come from ...

Can a plane mirror form a real image? A plane mirror only forms virtual images of real objects. However, a plane mirror can form a real image of a virtual object when hit by a converging beam of light.

2022年3月24日 · 1. Real image can only be formed when the reflected rays converge. 2. For plane mirrors it is not possible. 3. However if the reflected rays are converged it can form a reed image. 4. Consider a source of light at infinity (say sun) and plane mirror is very small in size, its reflected image will show a circular bright spot (image of sun) on ...

This is a simulation to illustrate the processes involved in the formation of images in plane mirrors. When the control points are visible, you can move the object (the blue arrow), the four points where the (blue) incident rays strike the mirror, as well as the two ends of the mirror itself.
