Refraction by Plane Surface – Rankers Physics

Reflection by Plane Mirror: Practice Problem & Solution

Assertion (A): In case of single refraction by plane surface image and object are on the same side. Reason (R): If object is real, image will be virtual and vice-versa.  
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Reflection by Plane Mirror. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

For a plane refracting surface, a real object always forms a virtual image. This virtual image is formed on the same side of the plane surface as the object itself, as light rays appear to diverge from it after refraction.
