प्रश्न
An object is kept at 60 cm in front of a plane mirror. If the mirror is now moved 25 cm away from the object, how does the image shift from its previous position?

उत्तर
Initially, distance of the object from the mirror = 60 cm.
Therefore, image is formed at a distance 60 cm from the mirror, behind it.
Thus, initial distance between the object and image = 60 + 60 = 120 cm
If the mirror is moved 25 cm away from the object,
The new distance of the object from the mirror = 60 + 25 = 85 cm
The new image is now at a distance 85 cm from the mirror behind it.
Thus, new distance of the image from the object = 85 + 85 = 170 cm
Taking the position of the object as reference point, the distance between the two positions of the image = new distance of image from the object - initial distance of the image from the object
= (170 - 120) cm = 50 cm
Thus, the image shifts 50 cm away.
