Answer:

It is a copy of an object and appears to be coming from behind the mirror.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The plane mirror has a flat surface, where of its surface is polished to reflect the light.
  2. The plane mirror shows the image as the same size of the object.
  3. The image produced by the plane mirror is virtual and erect.
  4. But the orientation of the image formed changes the left and right.
  5. Hence,the image appears to be coming from behind the mirror.
