The image height is thus the same as the object height, the image is upright, and the object distance d o is the same as the image distance d i . (credit: modification of work by Kevin Dufendach) This means that the distance PB from the object to the mirror is the same as the distance BQ from the mirror to the image.

A plane mirror always forms a virtual image (behind the mirror). The image and object are the same distance from a flat mirror, the image size is the same as the object size, and the image is upright.

The image height is thus the same as the object height, the image is upright, and the object distance d o is the same as the image distance d i . (credit: modification of work by Kevin Dufendach) For a plane mirror, we showed that the image formed has the same height and orientation as the object, and it is located at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
