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.

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...

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.
