When a divergent beam of light is incident on a plane mirror, the image formed is
- A. Upright and real
- B. Upright and virtual
- C. Inverted and virtual
- D. Inverted and real
Step-by-step solution
A plane mirror always forms a virtual image (behind the mirror) that is upright (same orientation as the object) and of the same size. A divergent beam of light means rays are spreading out, but the mirror reflects them such that they appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror, forming a virtual image.
