Virtual, erect, and same-sized image is formed by:

Answer: Plane mirror.

  • A Concave mirror
  • B Convex mirror
  • C Plane mirror
  • D Convex lens

Correct answer: C. Plane mirror

Explanation: Plane mirror always forms a virtual, erect, laterally inverted image of the same size as the object.

Concave mirror ray diagram with an object drawn as a candle on the principal axis, the focal point F marked, and the parallel ray and focal ray reflecting to form an inverted real image

Concave mirror ray construction: a ray parallel to the axis reflects through F, and a ray through F reflects parallel, locating the inverted real image. Image: Maxmath12, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons.

Concept context

Reflection, refraction, lenses, mirrors, total internal reflection.
