Question

An object placed 2 m from a plane mirror is shifted by 0.5 m away from the mirror. What is the distance between the object and its image?

• A. 2
• B. 1.5
• C. 5 m
• D. 3 m

Answer 1

The correct option is C 5 m

Given, object distance $=2m$.

(initially) Final object distance $=2.5m$

In a plane mirror, image distance $=$ object distance. Therefore, final image distance $=2.5m$ and the distance between object in its image $=5m$
