The image of an object formed by a plane mirror is erect, virtual and the same size as the object.

A plane mirror forms an image that is always virtual (cannot be projected onto a screen), erect (same orientation as the object), laterally inverted (left appears right and vice versa), and of the same size as the object. The image is also located as far behind the mirror as the object is in front.

Real images are formed when light rays converge at a point after reflection or refraction, whereas virtual images are formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point. Plane mirrors produce virtual images because the reflected rays do not actually meet but only appear to meet behind the mirror.
