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.
