(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?

Problem 6.
A mirror at an amusement park shows an uprightimage of any person who stands 1.9 m in front of it. If theimage is three times the person’s height, what is the radiusof curvature of the mirror? (See Fig. 23–50.)
(II) Stand up two plane mirrors so they form a 90.0° angle
as in Fig. 23–54. When you
look into this double mirror,

you see yourself as others
see you, instead of reversed
as in a single mirror. Make a
