When you stand in front of a full length plane mirror 2m away, your image formed is,
A
real and 1m behind the mirror
B
real and 2m behind the mirror
C
virtual and 1 m behind the mirror
D
virtual and 2m behind the mirror
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -That is the image is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. If you stand a distance of 2 meters from a plane mirror, you must focus at a location 2 meters behind the mirror in order to view your image.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Solution : (a) The distance of the image from the mirror is also 2 metre.

Detailed explanation-3: -Also, In-plane mirror, the image is formed behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is kept in front of the mirror. Therefore, if an object of 2 m is placed in front of a plane mirror, then its image formed is virtual, erect, and 2 m behind the mirror.

Detailed explanation-4: -When an object is placed at a distance of 2 m from the mirror, its image is formed 2 m behind the mirror.

Detailed explanation-5: -In plane mirror Object distance from the mirror is equal to the image distance from the mirror. ⇒ Image distance from mirror = 2 m. ∴ Distance between image and object = 2 m + 2 m = 4 m.
