Chapter 24.2, Problem 3aTH
A pencil is placed in front of a plane mirror as shown in the top view diagram below.
- Use ray tracing to determine the location of the image of the pencil. Use a protractor and a straightedge to make an accurate drawing.
Clearly indicate the entire image on your diagram.

describe how a ray diagram can be used to show the location of an image formed by a concave mirror. Describe the rays that can be used, where they travel before and after striking the mirror, and where the images form.
Draw at least 3 significant rays through the lens or mirror. Show where the image will be and label the images as upright/inverted; real/virtual; and give the height of the image if the object height is 4 cm.
Solve with illustration.
Locate the image by tracing it through ray diagramming and answer three questions for the possible positions:
a. Is the image erect or inverted
b. Is the image real or virtual?
c. Is it enlarged, diminished, or the same size?
