Question

The figure shows a bunch of paths converging at a point on a plane mirror. Consider rays of light striking the mirror along of one of these paths and reflecting. Label each of the combinations as either true or false, depending on whether they represent how rays would behave. Consider the reflection from the mirror to be specular.

Light in along path A, out along path A.
True False  Light in along path C, out along path A.
True False  Light in along path E, out along path C.
True False  Light in along path A, out along path F.
True False  Light in along path E, out along path E.
