A man stands 10 m in front of a large plane mirror. How far must he walk before he is 5 m away from his image? |
Answer» The object distance is equal to image distance in a plane mirror. For the distance of man from his image to be 5m The distance of man from mirror + distance of image from the mirror = 5m Since object distance = image distance Therefore, 2 distance of man from the mirror = 5m Distance of man from the mirror = 5/2 = 2.5m The man is 10m from the mirror at the starting, so he will have to walk 10 – 2.5 = 7.5m towards the mirror for being 5m away from his image. |
