How far is your image in a mirror?

Your image doesn’t originate at the mirror. Instead, light travels from your face two feet to the mirror, where it’s reflected another two feet back to your eyes. But if you look at a speck of dust on the mirror’s surface, you see it from only two feet away.

Is at a distance of 0.5 Metre in front of a plane mirror distance between the object and images?

The distance between object and mirror will be same as the distance between image and mirror. Hence, the distance between object and image will be 0.5 × 2 = 1 m.

What is the distance between mirror and Ramesh?

certain distance so that he can see the top of the pole reflected from the mirror. Ramesh’s eye level is 1.5 m above the ground. The distance of Ramesh and the. pole from the mirror are 1.8 m and 6 m respectively.

What must the minimum length of a plane mirror?

In other words, to view an image of yourself in a plane mirror, you will need an amount of mirror equal to one-half of your height. A 6-foot tall man needs 3-feet of mirror (positioned properly) in order to view his entire image.

What if the magnification is +1?

The magnification produced by a plane mirror is +1 means then the size of the image is equal to the size of the object. If m has a magnitude greater than 1 the image is larger than the object, and an m with a magnitude less than 1 means the image is smaller than the object.

How do you find the distance behind a plane mirror?

For plane mirrors, the object distance (is equal to the image distance. That is the image is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. If you stand a distance of 2 meters from a plane mirror, you must look at a location 2 meters behind the mirror in order to view your image.

What is the distance of the virtual image to the mirror?

Because the distance of the object = the distance of the image on the mirror, the distance from the virtual image to the plane mirror also = 1.5 m. What is the distance of your image from the mirror if you stand 1.25 m in front of the same mirror?

How far away would your image appear to be from you?

Your image in the mirror would be 4m away from you. It is on the mirror. Perhaps you meant to ask: “If you stand 4.0 m in front of a flat mirror, how far away from you would your image appear to be?” If so, it would appear to be 8m away, twice the distance you are from the mirror.

Why is the focal length of a plane mirror infinite?

The image formed at a equal distance behind the mirror as its distance in front of mirror. Radius of curvature of plane mirror is infinite. Thus focal length is also infinite as f= r/2. According to sign convention u will be negative here then V= U.
