Answer 2

Answer:

The distance between the mirror and the object will be 12 cm.

Explanation:

The reflecting surface of a plane mirror will be a flat surface. One of the main properties of a plane mirror is its image formation distance. The image appears to be at the same distance from the mirror as that of the object. ie; The distance between the image and the mirror will be the same as that of the distance between the object and the mirror. So if the distance between the image and object is 24 cm, then the distance between the object and the mirror will be exactly half of it. ie; 12 cm.
