O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/O/N/24

Explanation
Plane Mirror Image Properties Steps:
- Object O is in front of the mirror; image I forms behind it.
- Image is virtual, upright, same size, and equidistant from mirror as object.
- Rays reflect following angle of incidence equals angle of reflection.
- Diagram A matches: I is behind mirror, same distance from O, upright.
Why A is correct:
- Follows plane mirror law: virtual image at equal perpendicular distance behind mirror, per reflection principles.
Why the others are wrong:
- B: Shows image in front (real, not virtual).
- C: Depicts inverted image (plane mirrors produce erect images).
- D: Places image at unequal distance (violates equal distance rule).
Final answer: A
