Hello,
Do I have the correct answer for the following question?
Thank You,
My answer- 15 mm
An object 5 mm high is located 15 mm in front of a plane mirror. How far from the mirror is the image located?
5.0 mm
7.5 mm
15 mm
30 mm
To determine the correct answer, let's review how images are formed in a plane mirror.
In a plane mirror, the image formed is a virtual image, meaning that it cannot be projected onto a screen. The image appears to be located behind the mirror, with the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror.
Therefore, the correct answer is 15 mm, since the object is located 15 mm in front of the mirror. The image would appear to be located 15 mm behind the mirror.
So, in this case, your answer of 15 mm is correct. Well done!
