Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The image formed by the plane mirror is virtual, erect, same in shape and size of the object. The difference between a virtual image and a real image is that a virtual image cannot be cast on the screen, whereas a real image can be cast on the screen. Therefore, since the image formed by a plane mirror cannot be projected on a screen, the image formed is always virtual.
The correct statement would be the image formed by the plane mirror is a virtual image.
