Question

In a plane mirror, an object is placed $0.50\text{m}$ in front of the mirror. The distance between the object and its image is ________.

• A. $0.50\text{m}$
• B. $1.00\text{m}$
• C. $0.25\text{m}$
• D. $0.75\text{m}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1.00\text{m}$

Given,
Distance between object and mirror $=0.50\text{m}$
So, distance between the image and the mirror $=0.50\text{m}$
Distance between the image and object $=$ distance between object and mirror $+$ distance between image and mirror

$=0.50+0.50=1.00\text{m}$
