Answer 1

a man stands at a just on the side of a plane mirror ​

The complete question is:

If a person stands at A just on the side of a plane mirror, can he see himself in the mirror? Also, can he see the image of objects situated to the next 4 sides of him?

• As we know the property of the mirror is "the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection."
• Implies that, when we stand in front of mirror, we can view our own image, I mean reflection.
• But, when we move from the centre of the mirror to the one side of mirror, then we can't see our image in the mirror, instead the objects placed in front of mirror (might not be placed at the centre of the mirror) are visible to us.
• Therefore, a person standing on the side of the plane mirror cannot see himself but can see the images of objects situated to the next 4 sides of him.
