Question

1. make sense and persevere look at the floor plan below. abdul sees the image of a clock in the mirror on the door.

floor - plan diagram with abdul on one side, door in the middle, and image of clock on the other side

a. trace the diagram. where is the line of reflection? explain.
b. where is the clock located? explain.
c. find where abduls image is located relative to the line of reflection. can abdul see himself in the mirror? explain.

Explanation:

a. The line of reflection is the vertical line along the center of the door. This is because the image of the clock in the mirror appears to be a mirror - image across this vertical boundary.
b. The clock is located on the other side of the door, symmetrically opposite to its image with respect to the line of reflection (the door's center - vertical line). This is based on the property of reflection where the object and its image are equidistant from the line of reflection.
c. Abdul's image is located on the other side of the line of reflection (center - vertical line of the door), at the same distance from the line of reflection as Abdul himself. Whether Abdul can see himself in the mirror depends on the field of view. If the mirror is large enough and positioned in such a way that the reflected light rays from Abdul can reach his eyes, he can see himself.

Answer:

a. The line of reflection is the vertical line along the center of the door.
b. The clock is located on the other side of the door, symmetrically opposite to its image with respect to the line of reflection.
c. Abdul's image is on the other side of the line of reflection at the same distance as Abdul. Whether he can see himself depends on the mirror's size and position.
