What you see in a mirror?
In a mirror you see a reflection of yourself. The reflection is caused when light cannot go through the glass so it bounces back creating a second hand image which is opposite from what is real. But basically it's the right direction if you look at the mirror while standing next to it. The reflection should look perfect to you.
If you look in a mirror your left side appears on your right yet if you lay on the floor and look in the mirror why aren't your feet where your head is?
Your left side does not appear on your right side. It is a reflection of your left side. If you took your left finger and poked your right eye, the mirror would show a reflection of that. It only looks like the right side because you are thinking you are looking at another person face to face.
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.
What is lateral inversion of light?
Well if you have ever seen a mirror then you'll know that when you raise your left hand then only the hand in front of it will raise, which happens to be the other one if seen from the mirror's side. Okay, so just imagine that you are standing in front of a mirror. Raise your right hand. You'll see that if you are facing yourself in the mirror, then, from your side, the right hand will be raised. But, just imagine that you actually get inside the mirror and then stand behind it and facing it, then you see that actually the mirror 'you's' left hand is raised. This is called lateral inversion. And why it happens, well....you don't think that the mirror will actually raise the right hand as well. I mean a mirror shows your reflection and if it as well raises it's right hand, as you, then it won't be your reflection. But just another person, your twin rather, copying you. get it? I tried my best to explain it but light and reflections are very confusing. I myself have so many doubts about it.And also, I hope you do realize, that each mirror, i.e., convex, concave and plane, has its own set of properties.A simpler, correct answer: Lateral inversion occurs in a plane (flat) mirror.Compared with the object, the image is reversed along the line perpendicular to the mirror surface. Usually that means front and back are reversed."Lateral" means "sideways". It's called "lateral inversion" because the reversaloften seems to be "left-right", and not "front-back".Even though I know my image is reversed front to back when I look in a mirror, it's very hard to "see" it that way. That's psychology not physics.
Do all mirrors show lateral inversion?
If you mean that mirrors supposedly exchange right and left - well, they don't. A mirror will show the top at the top, the bottom at the bottom, the right at the right, and the left at the left. The only thing they do invert is front and back: the reflection of a thing that is closer to the mirror is (or seems to be) closer to us.
Imagine you are standing in front of a mirror facing it Raise your left hand Raise your right hand Look at your reflection When you raise your left hand your reflection raises what appears to be?
Obviously, the reflected image seems to be raising her right hand.
Imagine you are standing in front of a mirror facing it Raise your left hand Raise your right hand Look at your reflection When you raise your left hand your reflection raises what appears to be his r?
Of course it does. You are looking at a REVERSE image.
If you are standing in front of a mirror and move to the right what does your reflection do?
Your reflection will move with you.
Whose right is your left and your right is its left?
Your reflection in the mirror.
Why is there right left inversions when you look into mirror?
It is due to the reflection
I look at you you look at me i raise my right you raise your left riddle?
a mirror
What are some real life examples of reflection?
Look in a mirror for an example of a reflection. Lift your right hand, and watch your left hand lift in the mirror, or so it appears!In geometry, reflection is a mirror image of a shape, etc.For example: the triangle b is the reflection of triangle a.▲ a▼ b
What is the object in this riddle I look at you you look at me I raise my right you raise your left?
A mirror.
What is an example sentence with the word reflection?
