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

Image formation by plane mirrorProperties of image (virtual, erect)Relative motion of object/mirror/image

Formulas Used

Image distance = Object distance (for plane mirror)

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?
