What is the distance between you and your image in the 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.

When you stand in front of a mirror where does your image appear to be located?

The image produced by a convex mirror is always virtual, and located behind the mirror. When the object is far away from the mirror the image is upright and located at the focal point. As the object approaches the mirror the image also approaches the mirror and grows until its height equals that of the object.

When you come forward to the mirror your image moves?

The image is real light rays actually focus at the image location). As the object moves towards the mirror the image location moves further away from the mirror and the image size grows (but the image is still inverted.

What is the focal length of a plane mirror?

infinity
However the focal length of a plane mirror is infinity; its optical power is zero.

What is the distance between a person and the image formed in a plane mirror if he is standing at a distance of 30 cm from the mirror?

The distance between the person and his image would be 8 m. In plane mirror, object distance and image distance are equal. v is the distance of image from mirror.

How far away is the image of a person in a mirror?

The image of the person themselves is 10 m away, since we know that the person to mirror distance and mirror to person distance are both 5 m. The image is formed behind the mirror. Mathematically, it’s just a reflection of the real object in the plane of the mirror.

What is the distance between the man and the image?

If we stand at a distance of 2meters from a plane mirror, we must focus at a location 2meters behind the mirror in order to view our image. In this case, the distance between the man and the image is 6m.

What is a characteristic of a plane mirror image?

A characteristic of plane mirror images pertains to the relationship between the object’s distance to the mirror and the image’s distance to the 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.

How do you find the distance between an image and object?

The distance between the person and his image would be 8 m. In plane mirror, object distance and image distance are equal. v is the distance of image from mirror. u is the distance of object from mirror. Given v =6 m so u = 6 m. Therefore, total distance between object and image = v + u = 12 m.
