The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements regarding the behavior of images formed by a plane mirror. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze Statement I** - Statement I claims that if a point object is fixed and a plane mirror is moved, the image will also move. - Consider a fixed point object placed in front of a plane mirror. The image formed by the plane mirror is located at an equal distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. - If the mirror is moved horizontally (left or right), the position of the image will also shift correspondingly. This is because the image's position is always dependent on the position of the mirror. - However, if the mirror is moved vertically (upward or downward), the image's position does not change, as the distance between the object and the mirror remains constant in the vertical direction. - Therefore, Statement I is **not universally true**; it is only true for horizontal movements of the mirror. **Conclusion for Statement I:** False. --- **Step 2: Analyze Statement II** - Statement II states that in the case of a plane mirror, the distance of the object and its image is equal from any point on the mirror. - For a plane mirror, the image is always formed at a distance equal to the object distance from the mirror. This is a fundamental property of plane mirrors. - No matter where you measure from on the mirror, the distance from the object to the mirror will always equal the distance from the mirror to the image. - Thus, Statement II is **always true**. **Conclusion for Statement II:** True. --- ### Final Answer: - Statement I is **False**. - Statement II is **True**. The correct option is that Statement I is false and Statement II is true. ---
