An object is approaching a fixed plane mirror with velocity `5ms^(-1)` making an angle of `45^(@)` with the normal. The speed of image w.r.t. the mirror is

A

`5ms^(-1)`

B

`5//sqrt(2)ms^(-1)`

C

`5sqrt(2)ms^(-1)`

D

`10ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a.
Speed of image w.r.t. mirror
`sqrt(((5)/(sqrt(2)))^(2)+((5)/(sqrt(2)))^(2))=5ms^(-1)`
