A point object is placed at a distance of from a convex lens of focal length . If a plane mirror were put perpendicular to the principal axis of the lens and at a distance of from it, the final image would be formed at a distance of:
image

  1. A
    from the plane mirror, virtual image
  2. B
    from the plane mirror, virtual image
  3. C
    from the lens, real image
  4. D
    from the lens, real image

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

image
For the lens: .

The image would be formed at behind the lens.The plane mirror is at from the lens.The object for the mirror is , which is behind the mirror.A plane mirror forms an image of a virtual object at the same distance in front of it.Final image is in front of the mirror.Distance from lens = .Since it's formed by actual rays converging, it's a real image.(Note: Plane mirrors form virtual images of real objects, but real images of virtual objects).
