Question

Which of the options shows the correct reflection of the chess piece? 

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

When analyzing reflections on curved surfaces, consider both the curvature and the relative position of the object to predict the accurate reflection.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

1. Understanding Reflection:
- The reflection of the chess piece on a curved surface follows the laws of reflection, where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
- The shape and orientation of the reflection depend on the curvature of the surface and the position of the chess piece relative to the reflective surface.
2. Analysis of Options:
- Option A: The reflection accurately represents the orientation and proportions of the chess piece based on the curvature of the reflective surface. Hence, \(A\) is correct.
- Option B: The reflection in \(B\) is distorted and inconsistent with the expected reflection from the curved surface.
- Option C: The reflection in \(C\) does not align with the correct orientation and shape of the chess piece.
- Option D: The reflection in \(D\) is flipped incorrectly and does not match the geometry of the reflective surface.
3. Conclusion: The correct reflection of the chess piece is shown in \(A\).
