Can a plane mirror produce a real image?

No, the image is always virtual because a plane mirror cannot focus light.

Yes, the image is real because the place mirror reflects the same image.

Yes, the image is real because the plane mirror can focus light.

No, the image is sometimes virtual depending on the angle of the mirror.

Light travels at the speed of light, and sound travels at the speed of sound. The difference is that _______________ is always the same but ____________________

the speed of light; the speed of sound depends on the medium

the speed of sound; the speed of light depends on the medium

Trick question! There is no difference. Neither speed changes, ever!
