Given:
Distance of person from plane mirror= 2 meters
To find:
Distance between a person and his image formed in plane mirror=?
Solution:
The distance between a person from the image that is formed in the plane mirror can be found in the following steps:
=> Distance of person from plane mirror = Distance of image formed in a plane mirror
=> An image is always formed at the exactly same distance in the plane mirror as the distance of the object from the plane mirror.
=> Distance of person and image in plane mirror= Distance of person from plane mirror + Distance of image in a plane mirror
=> Distance of person and image in plane mirror= 2 meters + 2 meters
=> Distance of person and image in plane mirror= 4 meters
(or)
=> Distance of person and image in plane mirror= 2 (Distance of person from plane mirror)
=> Distance of person and image in plane mirror= 2 × 2 meters
=>Distance of person and image in plane mirror= 4 meters
Hence the distance between a person standing in front of a mirror and his image formed in the plane mirror is equal to 4 meters.
