प्रश्न
Can a plane mirror ever form a real image?
उत्तर
No, a plane mirror can never form a real image. This is because in all possible situations of image formation, the light rays never actually meet after getting reflected, but they only appear to meet behind the mirror, forming a virtual image always.
