Why does a mirror show everything in reverse?

Mirror reflects light from an object and that means that it reflects light from the right side of an object to the right side of a mirror and light form the left side of an object to the left side of a mirror. The picture that is created in a mirror is actually a reflection of an object that is in front of a mirror and therefore it looks reverse.


How do mirror form an image?

A mirror is formed by a glass plate with a reflective coating behind it. A mirror reflects the right that hits it, thereby forming an image of what is in front of the mirror.


At what angle does a light ray reflect off a mirror?

It reflects at like 45 degrees I think. No, it reflects off at the same angle it hits the mirror. If the light wave hits the mirror at a 30o angle on the left side, it will reflect off at a 30o angle on the right side. Scientists usually measure these angles from an imaginary line perpendicular to the mirror at the point where the light wave hits the reflecting surface; sounds awkward, but it makes the math easier.

a straight line


In a mirror the right and left side of the object of a interchanged is called?

What happens when light falls on mirror?

It is reflected. Depending on the shape of the mirror, this can be at a variety of angles. Assuming the question refers to a flat mirror that is hung on a wall; a plane (flat) mirror has an imaginary straight line at a right-angle to it, called the normal. A ray of light hits the mirror at an angle to the normal, but is reflected at the same angle that it hits the mirror in the opposite direction. So if a ray hits the mirror at 45 degrees from the normal, it will be reflected at 45 degrees from the normal in the opposite direction.

What is the inversion in a plane mirror called?

It is called "Lateral Inversion". Lateral means "sideways". The term is used because the image often seems left-right reversed. In fact the inversion is really at right angles to the mirror surface, but it can appear to be laterally reversed.


What is lateral inversion?

Lateral inversion is the reversal of an object when the image is formed in a flat mirror. This reversal is only in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the mirror. However, the effect is often seen by a person as a "left-right" reversal with the "front-back" reversal not noticed. That's the reason it's called lateral inversion. "Lateral" means sideways.


What mirror is used in a kaleidescope?

The mirror is usually a highly polished, thin metal strip bent into a right-angle. Looking through the hole, you will see the coloured plastic beads and bits reflected in the two mirrored surfaces giving thekaleidoscope effect.
