ANSWER : HOPEFULLY IT HELPS U
Explanation:
For plane mirrors, the object distance (is equal to the image distance. That is the image is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. If you stand a distance of 2 meters from a plane mirror, you must look at a location 2 meters behind the mirror in order to view your image.
Answer:
For plane mirrors, the object distance (often represented by the symbol do) is equal to the image distance (often represented by the symbol di). That is, the image is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
In this case, the distance between the object and its image formed by a plane mirror appears to be 16 cm. So, the object distance will be 16 / 2 = 8 cm.
Hence, the distance between the mirror and the object is 8 cm.
