For a flat mirror (front surface) with the object having an angle of incidence with the mirror of 45 degrees, and the image measured perpendicular to the object, the speed is v.
A side note, using a laser pointer, a spinning mirror, a meter stick, a ruler, and a sheet of paper, and measured, with a lab partner, the speed of light within 10%, in the space of a square meter. This was so many years ago, that the speed of light was much less than it is today.

How can you create mirror image of a given object?
Put a mirror in front of it.
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.
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.
An object 5 millimeter high is located 15 millimeter in front of a plane mirror How far from the mirror is the image located?
The distance between the object and mirror is 15 mm. The distance between the image and mirror is 15 mm. Therefore, the distance between the image and object is 15 mm plus 15 mm which equals 30 mm.

What will be the speed of image if object moves towards plain mirror?
The same speed: the image will always appear to be at a point exactly behind the mirror as the object is in front.
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.
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.
Is it plain mirror or concave mirror producing magnified real image?
A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface
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 5 millimeter high is located 15 millimeter in front of a plane mirror How far from the mirror is the image located?
The distance between the object and mirror is 15 mm. The distance between the image and mirror is 15 mm. Therefore, the distance between the image and object is 15 mm plus 15 mm which equals 30 mm.
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.
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
