Problem

A point source of sound SS is located at (2 m, 1 m)(2\,\text{m},\,1\,\text{m}) in front of a perfectly reflecting vertical wall represented by the line x=0x=0. A listener LL stands at (8 m, 3 m)(8\,\text{m},\,3\,\text{m}). Determine the coordinates of the point PP on the wall where the sound must strike so that, after one reflection, it reaches the listener. Give your answer correct to one decimal place.
