7. A pencil is placed in front of a plane mirror and is oriented parallel to the plane of the mirror (Fig. A). Construct a careful ray diagram and use it to find the image of the pencil. Be sure to draw several rays from at least two different points on the pencil (not just the tip). Pencil Figure A
