It is desired to photograph the image of an object placed at a distance of 3 m from the plane mirror. The camera which is at a distance of 4.5 m from the mirror should be focussed for a distance of
The correct option is D. 7.5m.
The distance between the object and the mirror is 3m, i.e., d1=3m,
Hence image distance also equals d1=3m
Also, the distance between the mirror and the camera is 4.5m, i.e., d2=4.5m.
Hence the focus of the camera,
F=d1+d2=3+4.5=7.5m.
