Objectives:
Determine the height, width, and the distance from the mirror of the image
formed by plane mirrors.
Compare the actual height, width and the distance from the mirror of the object
with that of the image formed by plane mirror.

Q1. Refer to Table 1, compare the distance (number of parallel lines) from the mirror
of the object with that of the image.
Height (cm)
Width (cm)
Q2. How do the height and width of the object compare with the height and width of the image?
