Question

An object placed 5.25 m from a plane mirror is shifted by 1m away from the plane mirror. Calculate the distance between object and its image. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

After shifting object 0.5m away from mirror, the distance between the object and the mirror = 2.5 m.

Hence, distance between object and image is 2x2.5 m = 5 m

Answer 2

Explanation:

if an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, the image distance of a plane mirror will be as tht of the object...

e.g. if an object is 2m away from the plane mirror then the image will also be at a distance of 2m away from the mirror . so the total distance between the image and the object will be

2m+2m = 4m
