Problem 8. This meterstick (Brenda) stands d = 1.8m away from a mirror of height 1.7m tall, it's lower end is 0.6m above the ground. Brenda's eyes are at the "100 em" mark and feet are at "0 em". What is the lowest meter stick marking visible to Brenda on her image in the mirror? a. Ocm b. 12cat c. 20cm h d. 36cm e. 40cm Solution: Light from the lowest point on Brenda hitting the bottom of the mirror and then into her eyes makes equal angles of incidence and reflection. The reflected ray from the mirror travels horizontally d = 1.8m and vertically 1.0m-0.6m = 0.4m. Therefore the ray from her lowest visible point travels horizontally d = 1.8m and vertically 1.0m -0.6m =0.4m, so this point is 1.0m -0.4m -0.4m =0.2m above ground
