As shown in the figure a particle is placed at O in front of a plane mirror M . A man of P can move along patyh PY and PY' then which of the following is true?

A

For all points on PY man can see the image of O

B

For all points on PY' man can see the image , but for no point on PY he can the image of O

C

For all points on PY' he can see the image but on PY he can see the image only upto distance d.

D

He can see the image only upto a distance d on either side of P.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


Field fo view of image is decided by the reflected rays. As we can see that the reflected rays from the extreme end points of mirror at a height 'd' from P and below P all points on PY'. Hence (C).
