<P> A plane mirror makes an image of objects in front of it ; these images appear to be behind the plane in which the mirror lies . A straight line drawn from part of an object to the corresponding part of its image makes a right angle with , and is bisected by , the surface of the plane mirror . The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual ( meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image ) , upright , and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting . A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come . However , the image is a laterally - inverted `` mirror image '' of the object . If a person is reflected in a plane mirror , the image of his right hand appears to be the left hand of the image . </P>
