Method:

- Draw a normal from point S to reflector
- Extend normal to other side
- Open compass to distance of S from intersection of normal and reflector (place needle point of compass at intersection, pencil point at S)
- Mark equal distance on extended normal -- this is point R [ 10(a)i ]

[BEGIN] [ 10(a)ii ]
- Place needle point on R, open compass so that the pencil point is at intersection of wavefront and reflector.
- Draw arc from this point to next intersection.
- Repeat from [BEGIN] for each of the other wavefronts.

You are welcome. Like the siggy, by the way. "Life is what you make it." Sometimes "Life is how you see it." Or the Physics Club favourite -- "There is no gravity -- the Earth sucks." xP
