24.

Suppose you stand in front of a plane mirror. Your reflected image in the mirror is as far behind the mirror as

		half your height.
		half your distance from the mirror.
		your distance from the mirror.
		twice your distance from the mirror.

Expert Solution

Answer : option 3

The characteristic of plane mirror images 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.

for example, If you stand a distance of 2 meters from a plane mirror, you must focus at a location 2 meters behind the mirror in order to view your image.

and the characteristic of plane mirror images is that the dimensions of the image are the same as the dimensions of the object.for example, If a 1.6-meter tall person stands in front of a mirror, he/she will see an image that is 1.6-meters tall.

In conclusion, plane mirrors produce images with a number of distinguishable characteristics. Images formed by plane mirrors are virtual, upright, left-right reversed, the same distance from the mirror as the object's distance, and the same size as the object.

Plane Mirrors: The image formed in a plane mirror is at the same distance in front of the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. at a larger distance behind the mirror than the distance the object is in front of the mirror. at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. at a shorter distance behind the mirror than the distance the object is in front of the mirror....

You place a mirror 10 cm in front of your face, which creates an upright image that is twice the height of the object. You then move the mirror along the principle axis until it creates an inverted image twice the height of the object. What kind of mirror must this be and why? Where is the object with respect to the mirror’s focal length for each of the mirror positions? (ie. f < s < R) Draw ray diagrams...

A lamp is twice as far in front of a plane mirror as a person is. Light from the lamp reaches the person via two paths. It strikes the mirror at a 36.1° angle of incidence and reflects from it before reaching the person. The total time for the light to travel this path includes the time to travel to the mirror and the time to travel from the mirror to the person. The light also travels directly to the...

Where is the image in a plane mirror formed? Your friend Noelle suggests the following hypothesis: "The image of an object formed by a plane mirror is formed on the surface of the mirror." Design an experiment to test Noelle's hypothesis. Available equipment: Plane mirror, object, masking tape, paper, meter stick. Design and describe the experiment that you plan to perform. Remember that your prediction of the outcome if the expirement must allow from the hypothesis you are testing. Then...

Which of the following statements are true for an image formed by a plane mirror? The image always appears to be located the same distance behind the mirror as the object is located in front of the mirror. The image formed by a plane mirror is always a real image. The image is always larger than the object. The image formed by a plane mirror is always an upright image. The image formed by a plane...

You are 1.9 m tall and stand 3.6 m from a plane mirror that extends vertically upward from the floor. On the floor 1.1 m in front of the mirror is a small table, 0.60 m high. What is the minimum height (in meters) the mirror must have for you to be able to see the top of the table in the mirror?

A small ball is held at a point—A, B, or C—in front of a plane mirror, as shown in (Figure 2) . Rank points A, B, and C according to the distance between the actual ball and the image of the ball, from greatest to smallest. If any two ball locations produce the same distance between the ball and its image, overlap the location points.
