Position of the (mirror)image

You can determine the position of the image easily with a graph. The following things should be added to the graph below:

a) The optical paths from the candle to the mirror and from there to the eye of the observer.

b) The extensions of the reflected rays "behind" the mirror and therefore the image.

Click on the graph to download a printable version of the graph. Print the graph and add the optical paths.

After finishing your graph, click on the arrow below to compare your own graph with our solution.
