Solution
When light encounters a smooth surface like a plane mirror, it undergoes Reflection following the law of reflection where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. This phenomenon allows us to understand how light behaves upon striking a mirror surface. In a plane mirror, the image formed is virtual, meaning it appears to be located behind the mirror. This virtual image is upright and the same size as the object, maintaining specific characteristics related to mirror reflection. The process of forming an image in a plane mirror involves light rays bouncing off the mirror surface.
