Reflection Of Light

A virtual image cannot be projected on a screen because the light rays do not actually meet but only appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror. A real image, on the other hand, can be projected on a screen because the light rays actually converge at a point.

Mirrors have a smooth, shiny surface that causes most of the light falling on them to be reflected back according to the laws of reflection.

Lateral inversion is the phenomenon where the left side of an object appears as the right side in its mirror image, and vice versa.

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

Yes, reflection occurs on all surfaces, but the nature of the reflection (regular or diffuse) depends on the smoothness of the surface.
