Plane Mirror
Images in plane mirrors- Figure to the right shows how, by reflecting light, a plane mirror forms an image of a point source of light such as a small light bulb.
- The image forms in a mirror is
- Upright
- Virtual
- Laterally inverted
- Same size as the object
Steps to draw a ray diagram for an image in a plane mirror
 |
| ( Draw the virtual image. Distance of object = Distance of image ) |
 |
| ( Draw 2 reflected rays, one from the image to the top of the eye and the other one from the image from the bottom of the eye. ) |
 |
| ( Draw the respective incident rays for the reflected rays you draw in step 2. ) |
