Question: A point source of light is 5 cm above a plane reflecting surface (such as a mirror). Draw a ray from the source that strikes

A point source of light is 5 cm above a plane reflecting surface (such as a mirror). Draw a ray from the source that strikes the surface at an angle of incidence of 45o and two more rays that strike the surface at angles slightly less than 45°, and draw the reflected ray for each. The reflected rays appear to diverge from a point called the image of the light source. Draw dotted lines extending the reflected rays back until they meet at a point behind the surface to locate the image point.
