Answer
Your image appears to be 2 meters behind the mirror. Since you are 2 meters in front, and the image appears 2 meters behind, the total distance between you and your image appears to be 2m + 2m = 4m.The magnification of the image in a flat mirror is always 1. This means the image appears the same size as the object.The image's right side appears on the same side as your left side. This is known as lateral inversion. Think of raising your right hand - your image will appear to raise its left hand.
