Mark correct option.

AThe laws of reflection of light hold only for plane surfaces
BThe size of virtual image can be measured by receiving it on screen
CPlane mirror alongs form an erect image
DPlane mirror may form inverted image
Correct Answer

Solution

Let solve it by each option
Law of reflection of light holds good for all the mirrors irrespective of their shape and size, hence option A is false
A virtual image cannot be caught on screen so we cannot measure the size, it is also a false statement
Plane mirror always forms a virtual image, hence it's a false statement
Light rays which comes from the object get reflected from plane mirror and reaches to human eye, at this point human feel that reflected ray is coming from the mirror . This is the reason why object looks laterally inverted
Hence option D is the right answer
