Question
(a) What is the relationship between the size of the object and the image that is formed by a plane mirror?_____(b) How does the distance from the object to a plane mirror compare to the distance between the image and the mirror?_______
Step 1
This is because a plane mirror reflects light in a way that preserves the size of the object. In mathematical terms, if the size of the object is denoted as $S_o$ and the size of the image is denoted as $S_i$, then $S_o = S_i$. Show more…

Relative to the distance of an object in front of a plane mirror, how far behind the mirror is the image?
Which graph best represents the relationship between the image size and the object size for an object reflected in a plane mirror?
If an object is placed between two plane mirrors. a distance $2 b$ apart, the object is situated at mid-point between mirrors, the position of $n^{\text {th }}$ image formed by one of the mirrors with respect to the object is: (a) $n b$ (b) $2 n b$ (c) $3 n b$ (d) $4 n b$
