Question

Choose the correct option:
David is observing his image in a plane mirror. The distance between the mirror and his image is 4 m. If he moves 1 m towards the mirror, then the distance between David and his image will be
(i) 3 m (ii) 5 m
(iii) 6 m (iv) 8 m

Answer 1

(iii) 6 m
Explanation:
As David moves 1 m towards the mirror, the image also moves 1 m towards the mirror. Now the distance between David and mirror is 3 m and the distance between mirror and image is 3 m. So, the total distance between David and his image will be 6 m.
