If an object is placed at a distance of 10 cm in from of a plane mirror, how far would it be from its image?

Solution

As we know, image forms inside the plane mirror at the same distance as object outside the mirror so, Image distance from the mirror = Object distance from the mirror = 10 cm

So, distance of the object from its image = 10 cm + 10 cm = 20 cm
