Question

Q3. 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
(a) 2 m
(b) 1 m
(c) 0.5 m
(d) 0.25 m

Answer 1

Answer:

(b)1 m

Explanation:

The image formed by the mirror is at the same distance behind the mirror as an object is in front of it, now

If the distance of the object from mirror = 0.5 m

Then the distance of the image from the mirror = 0.5 m

So, distance between object and mirror = 0.5 m+ 0.5m = 1m
