O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/O/N/24
Question 21 from 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
