Two plane mirrors are placed parallel to...

Two plane mirrors are placed parallel to each other. The distance between the mirrors is 10cm. An object is placed between the mirrors at a distance of 4cm from one of them, say `M_(1)`. What is the distance between the first time formed at `M_(1)` and the second image formed at `M_(2)` ?

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving two parallel mirrors and the object placed between them. ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have two plane mirrors, \( M_1 \) and \( M_2 \), placed parallel to each other with a distance of 10 cm between them. An object is placed 4 cm away from mirror \( M_1 \). ### Step 2: Determine the Position of the Object Let’s denote the distance from the object to mirror \( M_1 \) as \( d_1 = 4 \) cm. Therefore, the distance from the object to mirror \( M_2 \) will be: \[ ...
