Question

the distance between the object and a plane mirror is 5 m.If the object moves 1 m away from the mirror, calculate the distance of objects from its image formed .​

Answer 1

Answer:

6m is the answer of your questions

Answer 2

Given: The distance between the object and a plane mirror is 5 m and the object moves 1 m away from the mirror.

To find: The distance of object from its image formed.

Solution:

• When the distance between the object and the image is 5 m, it means that the object is 2.5 m away from the mirror and so is the image.

        $\frac{5m}{2} = 2.5 m$

• This is because, a mirror would form images at the same distance as the object is, from the mirror.
• When the object moves 1 m away, the distance between the object and the mirror becomes,

        $2.5m + 1m = 3.5m$.

• And, so does the image distance from the mirror.
• To calculate the distance between the object and the image formed, we add the distances from the mirror,

        $3.5m + 3.5 m = 7m$

Therefore, the distance of object from its image formed is 7 m.
