The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that when an object moves in a direction perpendicular to a fixed plane mirror, the velocity of the image with respect to the object is double the magnitude of the velocity of the object. 1. **Setup the scenario**: - Consider a plane mirror and an object moving perpendicular to it. - Let the object move with a velocity \( v \) in the direction perpendicular to the mirror. ### Step 2: Analyzing the Image Movement 2. **Image formation**: - The image formed by a plane mirror is located at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. - If the object moves a distance \( d \) in time \( t \), the image also moves the same distance \( d \) in the opposite direction. ### Step 3: Relative Velocity Calculation 3. **Calculate relative velocity**: - If the object moves a distance \( d \) in time \( t \), then its velocity \( v = \frac{d}{t} \). - The image also moves the same distance \( d \) in the same time \( t \), thus the image's velocity is also \( v \) but in the opposite direction. - Therefore, the relative velocity \( v_{relative} \) between the object and the image is: \[ v_{relative} = v + v = 2v \] - This shows that the velocity of the image with respect to the object is indeed double the magnitude of the velocity of the object. ### Step 4: Understanding the Reason 4. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason states that the distance of the image from the plane mirror is always the same as the distance of the object from the plane mirror. - This is true because the image distance \( d_i \) is equal to the object distance \( d_o \) from the mirror. ### Step 5: Conclusion 5. **Final Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are correct. - The reason correctly explains the assertion because the equality of distances leads to the doubling of the relative velocity. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: True - **Explanation**: The reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
