A man sits in an optician's chair, looking into a plane mirror which is 2 m away from him and views the image of a chart which faces the mirror and is 50 cm behind his head. How far away from his eyes does the chart appear to be ?
Distance of the chart from the mirror = 2 m + 50 cm = 2 m + 0.5 cm = 2.5 m
Now, distance between the eye and chart = distance between eye and the mirror + distance between the miror and image of chart
= 2 m + 2.5 m = 4.5 m
