Question

Sonu and monu stood of distance 2 and 3 meters from the mirror respectively on a single line what is the distance between the image of both? Write the reason?

Answer 1

The correct answer is given below: 1 m.

Explanation:

• Distance of Sonu from the mirror (Object distance) = 2 m.
• Distance of Monu from the mirror (Object distance) = 3 m.
• For a plane mirror, the Distance of the Object from the mirror is equal to the Distance of the Image from the mirror.
• Distance of Sonu's image from the mirror (Image distance) = 2 m.
• Distance of Monu's image from the mirror (Image distance) = 3 m.
• Distance between Monu's image and Sonu's image = 3 m -2 m = 1 m.
• This is because the difference in the distance of the image of Sonu and Monu from the mirror gives the distance between their images.
