Question

if an object is placed at a distance of 0.5 m in front of a plane mirror, the distance between the object and the image formed by the mirror will be [NCERT Exemplar]
(a) 2 m
(b) 1 m
(c) 0.5 m
(d) 0.25 m

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) 1m

Explanation:

Distance between object and mirror = 0.5m

Distance between object and mirror = Distance between image and mirror

Hence, distance between image and mirror = 0.5m

Therefore, distance between object and image = 0.5m + 0.5m = 1m

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

1m(b)

Explanation:

Distance = 0.5×2

=1.0

because the reflection will also be 0.5m away from the mirror.

I hope this can help you.
