Answer
- We can see the image of our face on a plane mirror but not in a sheet of paper because on the plane mirror the image is formed after the reflection which is known as regular reflection while image formed on a sheet of paper is known as diffused reflection.
- The images formed on the plane mirror are always lateral and virtual and cannot be obtained on a screen and is reverse sideways.
