Question

Two plane mirrors \(A\) and \(B\) are placed parallel to each other with a separation of \(2\,\text{m}\) between them. If an object is placed between the mirrors at a distance of \(60\,\text{cm}\) from mirror \(B\), then the distance of the second nearest image seen in mirror \(B\) from mirror \(A\) is \[ (\text{The reflecting surfaces of the two mirrors face each other}) \]

• A. \(3.4\,\text{m}\)
• B. \(5.4\,\text{m}\)
• C. \(2.6\,\text{m}\)
• D. \(4.6\,\text{m}\)

Hint:

For two parallel plane mirrors separated by distance \(d\), successive images are formed at intervals of \[ \boxed{2d} \] behind each mirror.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
