Solution

Image reflection in the plane mirror:

25 GEOMETRIC OPTICS

  1. A person's distance from the mirror is the same as the distance of his image from the mirror.
  2. Therefore, if a person is 1m away from the mirror, then his or her image will be 1m away from the mirror. So the image will be 1+1=2m away from the person.
  3. The image is at the same distance from the mirror as the object from the mirror is the property of plane mirrors.

A person 1m in front of a plane mirror seems to be 2m from his image.
