a. how is the placement of the line of reflection determined?
a. the line of reflection runs along the opened door.
b. the line of reflection is the line that connects where abdul is and the image of the clock.
c. the line of reflection runs through where abdul is and edge of the doorway.
d. the line of reflection runs through where abdul is and edge of the door when it is open.

Explanation:

In a reflection situation with a mirror on a door, the line of reflection is along the surface of the mirror (the door). When considering the reflection of an object (the clock) and a person (Abdul), the line of reflection is the plane of the mirror. For the location of the clock, it is on the opposite side of the line of reflection from its image at an equal distance. For Abdul's image, it is also on the opposite side of the line of reflection at an equal distance from the mirror as Abdul is. He can see himself if he is in the field - of - view of the mirror. For the multiple - choice part, the line of reflection runs along the opened door which is the mirror surface.

Answer:

a. The line of reflection runs along the opened door. The mirror is on the door, so the door's surface is the line of reflection.
b. The clock is on the opposite side of the line of reflection (the door) from its image, at an equal distance from the door as the image is.
c. Abdul's image is on the opposite side of the line of reflection (the door) at an equal distance from the door as Abdul is. He can see himself if he is in the field - of - view of the mirror.
a (multiple - choice). A. The line of reflection runs along the opened door.
