Detailed Solution

The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual behind the mirror and of the same size as the object.
A plane mirror always creates a virtual image (behind the mirror). From a flat mirror, the image and object are both equally distant, the image's size is equal to that of the object, and the image is upright. Virtual images are those that cannot be displayed on a screen. Unreal images are another name for virtual images. It is only an illusion that develops when light beams from an item seem to intersect but do not truly do so.
