Problem 2P

(I) When you look at yourself in a 60-cm-tall plane mirror, you see the same amount of your body whether you are close to the mirror or far away. (Try it and see.) Use ray diagrams to show why this should be true.

ANSWER:

Solution 2P:

        We have to explain the reason behind seeing the same amount of body irrespective of whether the body is close to it or far away from it.

Step 1 of 3

Concept:

Law of Reflection:Ray of lights always travels in a straight line and when it is incident on a mirror, then the angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection.

Incident ray and reflected ray lie on the opposite side of the normal.
