Answer:
Let
there be a point object A at a distancey from a plane mirror. Treating this
pointto be spherical source of light, we canassume spherical wave fronts
progressing from A of radius. Let there be no mirror then after time the wave
front will reachA' as wavefront I. If a mirror is placed asshown in the figure
then image will beformed at A' represented by II.
It is seen that OA' = OA i.e. reflectedimage is formed at a
distance equal to thedistance of object from the mirror.
