  • The image in a plane mirror is virtual, erect, and the same size as the object.
  • Alloys are used in electrical heating devices due to their high resistivity and high melting point compared to their constituent metals.
  • When light travels from medium A to medium B and bends towards the normal, the refractive index of medium B relative to A is greater than unity, indicating that medium B is denser.
