Q16.An object is placed at a distance of 12 cm in front of a plane mirror. The virtual and erect image is formed by the mirror. Now the mirror is moved by 4 cm towards the stationary object. The distance by which the position of image would be shifted, will be (1) 4 cm towards mirror (2) 8 cm towards mirror (3) 8 cm away from mirror (4) 2 cm towards mirror
What This Question Tests
This question tests the basic understanding of image formation by a plane mirror and how the image position shifts when the mirror moves relative to a stationary object.
Concepts Tested
Formulas Used
Image distance = Object distance (for plane mirror)

9.1 โ A Small Candle, 2.5 Cm In Size Is Placed At 27 Cm In Front Of A Concave
Physics Class 12 ยท Chapter 9
9.1 A small candle, 2.5 cm in size is placed at 27 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 36 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed in order to obtain a sharp image? Describe the nature and size of the image. If the candle is moved closer to the mirror, how would the screen have to be moved?
9.2 โ A 4.5 Cm Needle Is Placed 12 Cm Away From A Convex Mirror Of Focal
Physics Class 12 ยท Chapter 9
9.2 A 4.5 cm needle is placed 12 cm away from a convex mirror of focal length 15 cm. Give the location of the image and the magnification. Describe what happens as the needle is moved farther from the mirror.
9.15 โ Apply Mirror Equation And The Condition:
Physics Class 12 ยท Chapter 9
9.15 Apply mirror equation and the condition: (a) f < 0 (concave mirror); u < 0 (object on left) (b) f > 0; u < 0 (c) f > 0 (convex mirror) and u < 0 (d) f < 0 (concave mirror); f < u < 0 to deduce the desired result.
