The focal distance of a plane mirror is

  1. A-1 cm
  2. B+1 cm
  3. C2 cm
  4. DInfinity

71st BPSC

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (d) Infinity

Explanation

A plane mirror is perfectly flat with no curvature, so its radius of curvature R = infinity.

Using f = R/2, the focal length f = infinity/2 = infinity.

It neither converges nor diverges parallel rays, so it has no real focus.
