**Question 1:**Suppose that you are walking perpendicularly with a speed of 0.85 m/s toward a stationary plane mirror. What is the speed of your image relative to you?**Answer:** _____ m/s**Explanation:**When you walk towards a stationary plane mirror, the speed at which your image approaches you is twice your walking speed. This is because the image in the mirror moves at the same speed as you do, in the opposite direction. Since both you and your image are moving towards each other, the relative speed is the sum of both speeds. Thus, the speed of your image relative to you is 2 * 0.85 m/s = 1.7 m/s.

The speed of the person toward the mirror is:

Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.
