Study Notes

Reflection Off a Plane Mirror

When light reflects off a plane mirror, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
The image formed in a plane mirror is virtual, meaning it appears to be behind the mirror but isn't physically located there.
The image in a plane mirror is laterally inverted, meaning it is flipped horizontally.
The distance between an object and its image in a plane mirror is equal.
If the object is larger than the mirror, the image will be partially or completely cut off. The image will not be a complete fit in the plane mirror.
The principle governing the behavior of light when it hits a plane mirror is the law of reflection.
