To solve the problem of how far the image moves when the plane mirror is moved 10 cm away from a point object, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Setup**: - Let the initial distance between the point object and the plane mirror be \( x \) cm. - The image formed by a plane mirror is located at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. Therefore, the initial position of the image is also at \( x \) cm from the mirror. ...
