Chapter 10.2, Problem 3cT
Remove the mirror and the object nail. For each eye location that you used in part B, draw the path that light takes from the object nail to the mirror.
Draw an arrow head on each line segment to indicate the direction that light moves along that part of the path.
On the basis of the paths that you have drawn, formulate a rule that you can use to predict the path that light takes after it is reflected by a mirror.
