A plane mirror is approaching you at a speed of 10 cm/sec You can see your image in it. At what speed will your image approach you
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C 20 cm/sec
Suppose at any instant, plane mirror lies at a distance x from object. Image will be formed behind the mirror at the same distance x.
When the mirror shifts towards the object by distance ‘y’ the image shifts =x + y -(x-y) =2y So speed of image = 2 ´ speed of mirror
