The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the distance of the image of a toy car from a plane mirror, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the setup The toy car is placed 15 cm in front of a plane mirror. In this case, the distance from the object (toy car) to the mirror is given as 15 cm. ### Step 2: Determine the properties of the image formed by a plane mirror A plane mirror has specific characteristics regarding the images it forms: - The image is virtual, meaning it cannot be projected onto a screen. - The image is of the same size as the object. - The image is located at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. ### Step 3: Calculate the distance of the image from the mirror Since the toy car is 15 cm in front of the mirror, the image will be formed 15 cm behind the mirror. Thus, the distance of the image from the mirror is also 15 cm. ### Final Answer The distance of the image from the mirror is **15 cm**. ---
