To do this get a plane mirror and two pins.
1.place the first pin in front of the mirror and let it stand firmly.
2.the second pin would act like a search pin-move it until it coincide with the image of the first pin.
3.avoid error due to parallax in 2
4.read the distance of the first pin from the mirror and now the second from behind the mirror,you will find out they are approximately the same since you can't do it perfectly at home.
5.Any small object can also be used

What are the 5 Properties of an image in a plane mirror?
Characteristics of an image formed by the plane mirror are :- * Virtual and erect (up right ) . * The image is of same size as that of the object . *The image is far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it . *The image is laterally inverted .
Images formed by a plane mirror?
A plane mirror forms 1 virtual image and no real image. The virtual image is behind the mirror, at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror, erect, in mirror image left-right.
Describe the images formed in a concave mirror and in a convex mirror?
Here is a description of image formation in a concave mirror: if the object is beyond the center of curvature (F), the image formed is real and upside down; if the object is very near to the concave mirror, the image forms behind the mirror. It is virtual, upright, and bigger in size. Here is a description of image formation in a convex mirror: a convex mirror always produces a virtual, upright, and smaller image of the object at any distance in front of it. The image is located behind the mirror.
What type of image does a plane mirror form?
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, erect, same size as object, and laterally inverted ( left side appears right and right side appears left ). Also, the virtual image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
How can you create mirror image of a given object?
Put a mirror in front of it.
What kind of image is created when an object is placed in front of a plane mirror?
A virtual erect image of the same size of the object is formed.

An object is placed 4 cm in front of a concave mirror with a focal point of 1 cm describe the image that is formed?
A concave lens will appear!
What is the position of the image in the mirror?
It is related because if the object is 10cm away from the mirror and when u see the image it seems to be at the same distance as u are from the mirror and if that does not happen the laws are not correct.
Why does a mirror show everything in reverse?
Mirror reflects light from an object and that means that it reflects light from the right side of an object to the right side of a mirror and light form the left side of an object to the left side of a mirror. The picture that is created in a mirror is actually a reflection of an object that is in front of a mirror and therefore it looks reverse.
An object is kept in front of a concave mirror of focal length 20cm the image is 3 times the size of the object calculate 2 possible diastances of the object from the mirror?
40cm
Where does your image appear to be when you look into a plane mirror?
It's a virtual reflection of the object which appears as an image as much behind the mirror as the distance of the object in front.
How can you describe a plane mirror?
real reflection of the object in front of it at a time.
