QUESTION:

1. (I) Suppose that you want to take a photograph of yourself as you look at your image in a flat mirror 2.5 m away. For what distance should the camera lens be focused?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

When taking a photograph of yourself using a flat mirror, the apparent distance between your position and the mirror is doubled. This is because the light travels from you to the mirror and then reflects back to the camera, effectively covering a round-trip distance.
