Question

a burning candle is placed at the distance of 25cm in front of a large plane mirror where do you get image of candle and state the type of image​

Answer 1

Given:

Object distance = 25cm

To find:

Image distance and type of image

Solution:

• The image of the candle will be observed at a distance of 25cm behind the mirror. The image will be virtual, upright and will be of the same size as the object.
• This is observed because in case of plane mirrors the object distance and image distance are equal. This means that the image is formed at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is placed in front of the mirror.
• Also nature of the image formed in plane mirror is always virtual, left-right reversed and upright.
• The size of the object and image are identical.
