• Lateral reflection

According to the law of reflection, what is true about the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?

• The angle of reflection is greater.

• The angle of incidence is greater.

• It is formed by converging rays.

• It can be projected onto a screen.

Which statement accurately describes a real image?

• It cannot be projected onto a screen.

• It is formed when rays converge.

• It is always upright.

• It is formed when rays diverge.

In a plane mirror, how is the orientation of the image described?
