 FIGURE 4

In Figure 4., an observer sees an image of an object place at P in front

of a plane mirror. When the object is moved to X, the image is seen at
Y. This has caused the reflected ray towards the observer to change
with respect to the plane mirror.

a) Make one suitable inference [1]
b) State one appropriate hypothesis for an investigation [1]
c) With the use of appropriate apparatus like a plane mirror,
suitable light source, and protractor, describe an experimental
framework to test your hypothesis. In your description, state
clearly the following:
