Plane Mirrors

 
Plane mirrors produce virtual, upright images that are the same size as the object and the same distance from the surface of the mirror.
The reflection in the mirror appears to originate from inside the mirror at a distance equal to the distance the person is in front of the mirror.
The angle of incidence (X) is equal to the angle of reflection(A). After reflection all rays appear to have originated from as far behind the mirror as the object is in front.
