An object is located near a mirror as shown. A man walks with speed 2 m/s along a line parallel to the mirror, and at a distance 4.5 m away from it. Find the duration (in sec.) for which he can see the image of the object in the mirror.

Answer:
8
Solution:

Similar triangles for the reflected rays: the man first sees the image at 6 m past the object and last at 22 m.

Visible path = 22 - 6 = 16 m.

Answer: 8
