image distance is the distance from the point of incidence on the mirror, the where the image is reflected to.
object distance is the distance from the actual object being reflected to the point of incidence on the mirror where it's reflected as an image.

Why if you move the object away from the lens the size of the image get smaller?

Moving the object away from the lens increases the object-image distance. According to the thin lens equation, as the object-image distance increases, the image distance increases incrementally more than the object distance. This results in a smaller image size due to the inverse relationship between image size and image distance.


With a plane mirror what would be the relationship between di the image distance and do the object distance?

In a plane mirror, the image distance (di) is equal to the object distance (do). The image formed is virtual, upright, and the same size as the object, and it appears behind the mirror at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror.


Does the image size increase as the image distance increases?

No, the size of the image does not increase as the image distance increases. The size of the image is determined by the object distance, focal length of the lens, and the distance between the lens and the image plane.


State four characteristics of the image formed in a plane mirror?

1.Image distance= object distance 2.Size of the image = size of the object 3.image is laterally inverted 4.Image is always virtual & erect


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 .

How does the size of the image compare with the size of the original object?

The size of the image is a scaled representation of the original object, typically smaller or larger. The relationship between the size of the image and the size of the original object is determined by the magnification factor of the optical system used to capture the image.


What happens to the image formed by convex lens if the object is moved closer to the lens?

If the object is moved closer to a convex lens, the image distance will decrease and the image will move closer to the lens. The image size may increase depending on the object distance and object size relative to the focal length of the lens.


How large the image will be if the object is 25cm tall?

The size of the image will depend on the distance between the object and the lens (or mirror) producing the image. If you provide information about this distance, we can help calculate the size of the image.


The apparent size of an object is determined by the size of its image on?

The apparent size of an object is determined by the size of its image on the retina of the eye. It is influenced by factors such as the distance between the object and the eye, the focal length of the lens or mirror creating the image, and the size of the object itself. The brain processes this information to perceive the object's size.


What factor determines the location and size of the image produced by converging lens?

The location and size of the image produced by a converging lens are determined by the object distance and the focal length of the lens. The image is formed on the opposite side of the lens as the object when the object is beyond the focal point (real image), and the size of the image depends on the object distance and focal length according to the lens formula.


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.


How does the size of the image compare to the size of the object?

The size of the image is based on the distance between the object and the lens, as well as the focal length of the lens. The image can be the same size as the object if the object is at the focal point and the lens follows the 1/f = 1/do + 1/di equation.
