how is an image produced by a plane mirror different than an image produced by a convex mirror?
Answer     A plane mirror forms an erect,virtual image of the same size as the object. The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, erect, same size as objecâ¦t, and laterally inverted ( left side appears right and right side appears left ). Also, the virtual image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
A convex mirror produces a virtual image, because the principle light rays incident on the mirror surface from the object must pass through the focal point on the other side oâ¦f the mirror (virtually), and so the image appears at a depth behind the mirror's surface.
