For the situation shown in Fig. 34.3, is the image distance s′ positive or negative? Is the image real or virtual? Explain your answers

Short Answer

Expert verified

The image will be virtual and erect

Step by step solution

01

Images formed by the Plane mirror

Images formed by the plane mirror are virtual, upright, and left-right reversed, it is atthe same distance from the mirror as the object’s distance and the same size as that of the object.
