in front of a plane mirror. The distance between the object and image will be
(a) 0.25 m
(b) 1.0 m
(c) 0.5 m
(d) 0.125 m
Answers
Hey user
Answer:
C) 0.5m
Explanation:
According to one of the properties of Plane Mirror: “The object distance is equal to the image distance.” i.e. the image is at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
Answer:
The correct answer is (c) 0.5 m.
Explanation:
In a plane mirror when refraction occurs, the distance between an object and its image is equal to the distance between the object and the mirror. The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, erect, and of the same size as the object.
Therefore, the distance between the object and its image is 0.25 m and the object is placed at a distance of 0.25 m from the mirror making the total distance between the object and the image 0.25 m + 0.25 m = 0.5 m.
Refraction
- Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through a material, such as air, water, or glass, due to a change in its speed.
- Light travels at different speeds in different materials, this change in the direction of light is known as refraction.
- Refraction has its important role in lenses, prism, etc.
