The location of the image produced by the plane mirror.
Answer to Problem 33A
At the same distance as of the object but behind the mirror.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A plane mirror always forms a virtual image of the object of the same size as that of the object and at the same distance as that of the object. Thus, for the plane mirror,
Where,
As per the property of the plane mirror, image distance is always the same as that of the object distance but image is formed behind the mirror.
Conclusion:
Hence, the image produced by the plane mirror is located at the same distance as that of the object but it behind the mirror.
