Question

An object is placed in front of a simple plane mirror, as shown.

 

1. 

Which statement best describes the image that is formed? 
 The image is inverted parallel but not perpendicular to the mirror surface. 
 The image is inverted neither parallel nor perpendicular to the mirror surface. 
 The image is inverted both parallel and perpendicular to the mirror surface. 
 The image is inverted perpendicular but not parallel to the mirror surface. 

2. 

Which statement best describes the image that is formed? 
 The image is farther from the reflecting surface than the object. 
 The image and the object are equidistant from the reflecting surface. 
 The image is closer to the reflecting surface than the object.

3. 

Which statement best describes the image that is formed? 
 The image is real because the reflected principal rays may be extrapolated to converge at a common point. 
 The image is virtual because the reflected principal rays may be extrapolated to converge at a common point. 
 The image is real because the reflected principal rays physically converge at a common point. 
 The image is virtual because the reflected principal rays physically converge at a common point.
