The four characteristics of images formed by plane mirrors are as following:
- The image formed in a plane mirror is virtual. It cannot be received on a screen.
- The image formed is erect and of same size as the object.
- The image formed is at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.

A 4 cm tall object is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens. The distance of the object from the optical centre of the lens is 12cm and its sharp image is formed at a distance of 24cm from it on a screen on the other side of the lens. If the object is now moved a little away from the lens, in which way (towards the lens or away from the lens) will he have to move the screen to get a sharp image of the object on it again? How will the magnification of the image be affected?
