Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
A plane mirror forms an upright image. The size of the image in a plane mirror is the same as the object, and it is located virtually behind the mirror in the same direction; this is known as upright; hence a plane mirror will always form an upright image. A plane mirror creates a virtual picture, which creates an image of the mirror. Suppose you look at the illustration above from the prior response. Behind the mirror, an image is created at the same height and distance. There is a point object A, and because of its flat surface, a plane mirror creates a point image of A' at the same height and distance behind the mirror. If the object is similar to a human, then every point on the person's body will have an image at the same height and distance as a flat plane or mirror. In the plane mirror, we see a precise upright reflection of ourselves.
