The image of a real object formed in a plain mirror is found to be _:
Correct answer: B. Virtual
- A. Real
- B. Virtual
- C. Curved
- D. None of these
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Virtual. When a real object is placed in front of a plain mirror, the image formed is virtual. This virtual image appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of it. Option A is incorrect because the image is not real. Option C is incorrect because the image is virtual and not curved. Option D is incorrect as Option B is the correct choice for this scenario.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
