When a divergent beam of light is incident on a plane mirror, the image formed is

1. Upright and real
2. Upright and virtual
3. Inverted and virtual
4. Inverted and real

Correct answer: Upright and virtual

Solution

A plane mirror forms a virtual image because the reflected rays diverge and only their backward extensions intersect behind the mirror. The image remains upright because plane mirrors do not invert top and bottom for a normal object.
