Question

38.Rahul observed his image in a plane mirror standing 2 m away from the mirror. He
moved 1 m towards the mirror to observe his image closely.
a) What is the distance between Rahul and his image after he moves closer?
b) What are the four characteristics of the image seen by the Rahul in the plane
mirror.
c) Define the term laterally inverted image. Write one difference between real
image and virtual image.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) The distance between Rahul and his image after he moves closer is 2m

B) An image formed by a plane mirror has the following characteristics:

1)Virtual and erect.

2)Behind the mirror.

3)The size of the image is equal to the size of the object.

4)Laterally inverted image (image of the left side visible on the right side).

C) Lateral inversion is apparent reversal of left and right sides of the image. ... Laterally inverted means the left and right sides of the image are interchanged.

The main difference between real and virtual images lies in the way in which they are produced. A real image is formed when rays converge, whereas a virtual image occurs where rays only appear to diverge.
