Question
Suppose your height is $2.0 \mathrm{~m}$ and you are standing $50 \mathrm{~cm}$ in front of a plane mirror.a) What is the image distance?b) What is the image height?c) Is the image inverted or upright?d) Is the image real or virtual?
Step 1
For a plane mirror, the image distance (d_i) is equal to the object distance. Therefore, we can write: \[d_i = d_o\] Substituting the given value, we get: \[d_i = 50 \, \text{cm}\] Show more…
