State three ways in which the image formed in a plane mirror differs from the image formed in a pin hole camera.
Solution
Image formed by plane mirror :
- Image formed by plane mirror is virtual.
- It can not be obtained on the screen.
- Size of image is same as that of the object.
- Image appears to be inverted only on the vertical axis.
Image formed by Pinhole camera :
