A plane mirror of length 8 cm is present near a wall in situation as shown in figure-. Then the length of spot formed on the wall is:

A

8 cm

B

4 cm

C

16 cm

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Here, PA is the size of spot formed on the wall. From the similar triangle.

PS'Q and MS'N
` (PQ) /( MN) = (2d) / ( d ) `
` PQ = ( 2 ) MN = 2xx 8 = 16 cm `
