By observing the virtual images formed by the three mirrors, we can distinguish between the mirrors as:
(i) Plane mirror will produce an image of the same size,
(ii) Concave mirror will...
(iii) 6 m
Explanation:
As David moves 1 m towards the mirror, the image also moves 1 m towards the mirror. Now the distance between David and mirror is 3 m and...
