The light rays from an object have been reflected towards an observer from a standard flat mirror, the image observed by the observer is:- A. Real B. Erect C. Smaller in size than object D. Laterally inverted Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: (1) B and D Only (2) A and D Only (3) A, C and D Only (4) B and C Only
- B and D Only
- A and D Only
- A, C and D Only
- B and C Only
Correct answer: B and D Only
Solution
The image formed by a flat mirror is always erect and laterally inverted, meaning it appears upright but reversed from left to right. It is not real, as it cannot be projected onto a screen, and its size is the same as the object, not smaller.
