A12-inch object is placed 30 inches in front of a plane mirror. a ray of light from the object strikes the mirror at a 45-degree angle.

how tall is the image produced by the mirror?

12 inches

30 inches

24 inches

45 inches

Answer : The correct option is (A) "12 inches"

Explanation :

It is given that, a 12-inch object is placed 30 inches in front of a plane mirror. A ray of light from the object strikes the mirror at a 45-degree angle ( from fig) .

In case of plane mirror, the size of image is exactly same as that of size of object.

So, we can say that the size of image produced by the plane mirror is 12 inches.

Hence, the correct option is (A) i.e. 12 inches.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
