If you are in front of a flat mirror, your image appears to be twice the distance from you as the mirror.


In optics they use ray diagrams to demonstrate this. If you did not know the mirror was there, the image would be 4 meters from you, two meters behind the mirror.

If a student stand 2m behind a plane mirror how far is the image?

Since the mirror reflects the image in front of it, the apparent distance of oneself standing in the mirror will be twice as far as the distance from you to the mirror. If you are standing 2 meters from the mirror, the image will appear as 4 meters away.


What does the image of an object look like for a concave mirror when the object is far away?

When the object is far away from a concave mirror, the image formed is real, inverted, and highly magnified. This image is formed at the focal point of the mirror.


Is the distance from the object to the mirror is less than the apparent from the image?

The distance from the object to the mirror is equal to the distance from the image to the mirror in a plane mirror. The image appears to be as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, so the apparent distance from the image to the mirror is equal to the actual distance from the object to the mirror.


What type of image is formed when you use a concave mirror far away?

When a concave mirror is far away, it forms a real and inverted image. The image will be smaller than the object and located at the focal point of the mirror on the same side as the object.


What happens when you hold an object far away from a concave mirror?

When you hold an object far away from a concave mirror, the mirror will produce a real image that is inverted and smaller than the object. The image will be formed at the mirror's focal point.


When you view your in a plane mirror how far behind mirror is your image compared with your distance in front of the mirror?

same distance


If an object 5 millimeters high is located 15 millimeters in front of a plane mirror How far from the mirror is the image located?

The answer is 15 millimeters behind the mirror, and the distance from the actual object to the image is 30 millimeters. Plane mirrors have a flat focus that places the image as far behind the mirror as you are in front of it.


What location does the image approach as the object gets arbitrarily far away from the mirror?

Half the radius of the mirror, also known as the focal point.


What happened when concave mirror is held far away from object?

When a concave mirror is held far away from an object, the reflected image appears smaller, inverted, and closer to the focal point of the mirror. The image will be diminished in size and can eventually converge to the focal point of the mirror as the distance between the mirror and the object increases.


An object is 5 millimeters high is located 15 millimeters in front of a plane mirror how far from the mirror is the image located?

The image will be located the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, so the image will be 15 millimeters behind the mirror.


How is your image in a plane mirror different from the real you?

The image in a plane mirror is laterally inverted, meaning left and right are flipped. It also appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as you are in front of it. Additionally, the image has no depth perception.


How does image change in its size and location as the object comes nearer the concave mirror?

this will depend.
