Solution

The distance between the object and the plane mirror is 0.5 m.
We know that, for a plane mirror, the distance between the object and the mirror is the same as the distance between its image and the mirror. [1 mark]
So, the distance between the object and the formed image is 0.5 m + 0.5 m = 1 m. [1 mark]
