Chapter 10.2, Problem 2aT
Place your head so that you can see the image of the nail in the mirror.
Use the method of parallax to position the second nail so that it is located in the same place as the image of the object nail. Mark this location on the paper.
Is the image of the nail located on the surface of, in front of, or behind the mirror? Explain.
Would observe at other locations agree that the image is located at the place you marked? Check your answer experimentally.
