The path that light waves take when one sees its image in a mirror.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The image of an object is seen due to the reflection.
When one sees mirror, the light wave from the mirror surface reflects and strikes on one’s retina and the image is formed on retina. Thus, the light wave follows the path from eye to mirror surface and bounce back to retina.
Conclusion:
The path that light waves take when one sees its image in a mirror is the path of light striking on mirror and bouncing back to the retina.
