Answer to Problem 18R

A plane mirror.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A plane mirror is a mirror with flat, reflective surface. The angle of reflection for light rays which strike a plane mirror is equal to the angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is the angle between incident radius and normal surface.

The surface is smooth and flat according to the science question and the image is directly reflected so the mirror is plane mirror.

Conclusion:

Hence, the mirror is plane mirror.
