What do constellations appear to do?
Constellations appear to form images in the night sky, but each of the stars are extremely far away fron each other. They just line up from our own viewing points.
How does light make rainbows?
If the various frequencies of white light have their paths shifted slightly (by a piece of glass or by droplets of water) then each color will follow a slightly different path.
Is there a way to tell how old a mirror is?
Using a candle or lighter hold that up to.the mirror.....count.how many flames you see in the reflection.....
What are inclined mirrors?
An incline is a ramp or gentle slope. Inclined mirrors are two or more facing mirrors that are not both perpendicular to each other in two directions. For example, if two mirrors were on opposite walls of room, then one edge of one mirror were twisted (lifting the bottom off the wall or the right side), then the mirrors would be inclined from each other.
What causes rainbows to bend?
Each droplet of rain is actually a sphere that refracts white light from the sun into all the different colors of the spectrum. Each visible color comes off at a different angle from each drop in the shape of a cone. The droplets directly in front of you are throwing cones of color all around you and you can't see them. As you reach a certain angle away from you, you catch the small part of each cone from millions of spheres and it the colors appear to form a circle. In a plane you can see rainbows in full circles. On the ground you lose half to the horizon. Also, this is why you can't find the gold at the end of the rainbow. Because it always depends on your position relative to the sun and the rain, it will always move as you move or disappear.
Are left and right fingerprints mirror images of each other?
No, they are not.
Which two continents are mirror images of each other?
South America and Africa are considered mirror images of each other due to their similar shapes and positions. This resemblance is due to the theory of plate tectonics and the separation of the two continents from the supercontinent Pangaea.
A shape that has two halves that are mirror images of each other?
equilateral triangle
A type of symmetry in which body parts are mirror images of each other?
Bilateral Symmetry
Symmetry in which an organism's body has two halves that are mirror images of each other?
I think its bilateral
What two continents are just like the mirror images of each other?
africa and north america
What are lines that are drawn that divides a figure into two congruent sections that are mirror images of each other?
You're talking about a line of symmetry. But if the sections aremirror images of each other, then they're not congruent.
The magnetic patterns on either side of a deep-sea trench are mirror images of each other?
yes ma'am
How many images are formed from two mirrors perpendicular to each other?
If 2 mirrors are placed perpendicular to each other then infinite no of images will be formed because image formed by one mirror will act as the object for the other and vice verse.
What isomers that are mirror images of each other?
Chiral molecules have mirror-image isomers
What shape has two halves that are mirror images of each other?
Circle square equlateral triangle dimond rectangle trapazoid
When an object is placed between two mirror placed parallel to each other how many images will be formed?
In theory, the answer is "an infinite number". In practice, light will be deflected away from the theoretical by small defects in the mirror and the glass in front of the mirror, as well as absorbed. These will reduce the number of images.
