Plane Mirrors and Image Formation Quiz

What is the primary function of a plane mirror?

• To magnify images
• To produce images of objects
• To absorb light
• To refract light

According to the laws of reflection, what is true about the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?

• They are always equal
• They are always different
• They depend on the distance from the mirror
• They are irrelevant

What type of image is formed by a plane mirror?

• Real and inverted
• Virtual and upright
• Real and upright
• Virtual and inverted

If an object is placed 5 meters in front of a plane mirror, how far behind the mirror will the image appear?

• 5 meters
• 10 meters
• 2.5 meters
• It cannot be determined

Which of the following statements about the image formed by a plane mirror is incorrect?

• The image is symmetrical to the object
• The image can be projected onto a screen
• The size of the image is the same as the object
• The image is upright

When constructing the image of a point object in front of a plane mirror, what is the first step?

• Draw the incident rays
• Identify the object
• Locate the image
• Apply the laws of reflection

In the context of plane mirrors, what does the term 'field of view' refer to?

• The area visible to an observer
• The distance from the mirror
• The angle of incidence
• The size of the object

If an observer's eye is located at point E, where is the virtual image E' of the observer?

• In front of the mirror
• Behind the mirror
• At the surface of the mirror

How can the field of view be determined when looking into a plane mirror?

• By measuring the distance to the object
• By constructing the virtual image of the observer
• By counting the number of objects in view
• By calculating the angle of reflection

What happens to the rays of light when they strike a plane mirror?

• They are absorbed
• They are refracted
• They are reflected
• They are scattered
