Ooo template Method of image charges

[schattenjaeger]

Homework Statement

Two semi-infinite grounded plane conductors that intersect at the origin, with an angle of 60 degrees between them. A point charge of q is located some distance from the origin, and bisects the angle between the two conductors, where would the image charges be and what would they be?

Homework Equations

well you got to know the method, I won't explain it in detail

The Attempt at a Solution

Ok, here's the thing, I can solve the simpler similar problem where the conductors are at right angles(ie they intersect at the origin and run along the x and y axis, and the "vacuum" region is in the first quadrant)Based on that solution, I figure the image charges should be locacted... http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/Phys/Class/refln/u13l2f.html scroll down to the first big picture, about the middle. I figure where I1, I2, and I5 are. But really I'm a bit at a loss, if someone could poke me in the right direction. Is the problem described clearly enough?

The 5 images look right. Just make sure they each have the right sign and add the potential from all six charges.
