3. A bird is located 3 m in front of a flat mirror as shown. a. Draw light rays that travel from the bird to points A, B, and C by reflecting off the mirror's surface. Use the dashed gridlines to draw the light rays as accurately as possible. b. Use the reflected light rays to determine the location of the bird's image. Is this image where you expected it to be? Why or why not? c. You are standing at point P, 5 m in front of the mirror as shown. Indicate on the picture where your image is located. How far are you from your own image? d. When standing at point P, how far are you from the bird's image?

(II) Two plane mirrors, nearly parallel, are facing each other 2.3 m apart as in Fig. 23-55. You stand 1.6 m away from one of these mirrors and look into it. You will see multiple images of yourself. (a) How far away from you are the first three images of yourself in the mirror in front of you? (b) Are these first three images facing toward you or away from you? FIGURE 23–55 Problem 6.
