Question

3. An object placed 4 m from a plane mirror is shifted by 0.5 m away from the mirror. What is the distance between the object and its image?

Answer 1

Answer:

If object is 4m away and shifted by 0.5m.

So, the total distance of object and mirror will be 4.0+0.5=4.5m

The distance is doubled because

the distance of object and mirror = distance of mirror and image ( always)

Now the distance of Object and image will be:

4.5+4.5=8.10m

Hence, the distance of object and mirror will be 8.10m.

I hope this will help you.
