When the person is 5.30 m from the mirror on the left wall and 6.30 m from the mirror on the right wall, find the distance from the person to the first three images seen in the mirror on the left wall. 10.60 m 41 x Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m 62.30 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m first second image third

Answer 1

The first image is, S, = 5.3+5.3 = 10.6m The second image is, S2 = 10.6+6.3+6.3 = 23.2m The third image is, S; = 10.6+12.6+5.3+5.3 = 33.8m
