Question

look at the floor plan. abdul sees the image of a clock in the mirror on the door.
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.
d. the line of reflection runs through where abdul is and edge of the door when it is open.
which of the following correctly places the line of reflection?
oa.
ob.
oc.
od.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection property

The line of reflection is the perpendicular - bisector of the line segment joining an object and its image. The clock's image is seen in the mirror on the door. The line of reflection should pass through the edge of the open - door (where the mirror is) and be such that the clock and its image are symmetric about it.

Step2: Analyze options

Option A: The line does not seem to be the perpendicular - bisector of the line segment joining the clock and its image.
Option B: This line does not correctly represent the symmetry between the clock and its image.
Option C: This line passes through Abdul and the edge of the door when it is open and is the perpendicular - bisector of the line segment joining the clock and its image.
Option D: The line does not account for the correct symmetry of the clock's image.

Step3: Answer part b

The clock is located on the other side of the line of reflection, symmetrically opposite to its image in the mirror on the door. This is because in a reflection, the object and its image are equidistant from the line of reflection.

Step4: Answer part c

Abdul's image is located on the other side of the line of reflection, at a distance equal to his distance from the line of reflection. Whether Abdul can see himself in the mirror depends on the field - of - view. If the mirror is large enough and positioned such that the reflected rays from Abdul can reach his eyes, he can see himself. In a perfect reflection scenario, his image is located symmetrically across the line of reflection.

Answer:

c. Option C
b. On the other side of the line of reflection, symmetrically opposite to its image.
c. His image is located on the other side of the line of reflection, at an equal distance. He can see himself if the mirror's field - of - view allows it.
