To solve the problem graphically, we need to determine the position of the observer's eye such that they can see the image of a straight line reflected in a plane mirror. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Draw the Plane Mirror - Begin by drawing a horizontal line to represent the plane mirror. Label this line as "Mirror." ### Step 2: Draw the Object - Next, draw the straight line (the object) above the mirror. Label the endpoints of this line as A and B. ...

Consider the situation shown in the Figure. The mirror AB forms image of point object P. Co-ordinates of A, B and P are (0, 10) m, (0, 8) m and (– 2, 0) m respectively. Two observers O1 and O2 are located at (– 2, 10) m and (– 1, 13) m respectively. (a) One of the two observers cannot see the image of point P. Identify the observer. (b) To ensure that both the observers are able to see the image, it was decided to use a longer mirror. Keeping the upper end of the mirror fixed at A (0, 10) m, what is the minimum length of mirror required so that both observers can see the image of point P?

Show that the minimum size of a plane mirror required to see the full image of an observer is half the size of that observer.
