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.
Usually as we say the details of the image we point out their, size, position, type and nature. In case of plane mirror, size = same size of the object position = at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror type - erect one nature - virtual image. This means could be seen but not be caught on a screen.
same distance
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.
For a flat mirror, the object distance is equal to the image distance. This means that the image formed by a flat mirror is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
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.
The image formed by a plane mirror is a virtual, upright, and laterally inverted replica of the object. The distance between the object and its image in a plane mirror is twice the distance of the object from the mirror. The size of the image is equal to the size of the object.
The distance between the image and the plane mirror is the same as the distance between the object and the mirror. Therefore, if the object is 15m away from the mirror, the image will also be 15m behind the mirror.
The magnification equation for a concave mirror is given by the formula: M = - (image distance) / (object distance), where M is the magnification, image distance is the distance from the mirror to the image, and object distance is the distance from the mirror to the object. Negative magnification indicates an inverted image.
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.
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
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.
Virtual: The image appears to be behind the mirror. Upright: The image is the same size and orientation as the object. Laterally inverted: The image is reversed left to right. Equal distance: The image is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front. Same size: The image is the same size as the object.
As the object distance increases, the image distance also increases. This relationship is governed by the lens or mirror equation, which shows that when the object is moved farther from the lens or mirror, the image is also formed farther from the lens or mirror.
Your image appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror. The image is laterally inverted, meaning left and right are reversed.
The image of an object will appear the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. This is due to the reflection of light rays creating a virtual image that mimics the distance of the object.
