They said vampires didn't have a soul, so since it was also thought that when you look in a mirror you saw your soul.

What is the reflection from a mirror called?

Just that: reflection. There can be a virtual image, an imaginary image, an inverted image etc depenting on the shape of the surface of the mirror.


How does reflection differ from refraction?

Refraction is the bending of light after passing through a medium. Reflection is the bouncing back of light after striking a polished smooth surface like a mirror,clear water,polished metal,etc.


What is a example of reflection?

Pretty much everything you see. The fact we can see is due to light reflecting off of objects and into our eyes. A good example, I guess, is the moon. When it glows at night, that is just light from the sun reflecting onto the Moon's surface, and bouncing back, giving it that glow. Another great example is: Seeing your hand in front of your face. Others are: -- seeing an image of yourself in the mirror -- looking at the car ahead of you when you're driving -- reading the newspaper -- looking at your wife's face -- looking at what buttons you're pushing when you make a phone call -- finding your shoes in the bedroom -- figuring out which house to walk into after school or work


What causes an error in reading an ammeter?

Main error is not using a mirror scale properly so the needle can appear to be in a different place. The idea is that if you look directly at the needle from the front, you will not see a reflection in the mirror as the reflection would be directly behind it. If you CAN see a reflection to the left or right, you are going to misread. Some meters have a twisted pointer instead of a mirror scale - look on properly the pointer is very thin, read from the side it is thick. Other errors might be using a "scaled" meter without the correct current transformer (used on very high current readings), a damaged (usually through overload) spring, coil, not setting the meter to zero, using a DC only meter to read AC etc etc


What kind of image do you see when you look into the mirror?

The simple answer is one. The main reflection from the silvered surface on the back side of the mirror glass. A second reflection occurs from the front surface of the glass. However, this will be fainter since the reflectivity to transmittance of glass is low. The philosophical answer is infinite. Any reflective surface on you body (your eyes, for example) reflects the image in the mirror which reflect the image from the reflection... A pragmatist would set a limit at these reflections (the intensity is less than the sensitivity of the eyes, the image is smaller than the wavelength of visible light, etc.).

How come when you look in the mirrior you get different reflection sometimes in skinny average or fat?

Your reflection is based on the shape the mirror is.Example:If the mirror was bent outwards the reflected image would appear wider.If the mirror was bent inwards the reflected image would appear thinner.Usually you can commonly find mirrors like these in fun houses, and can be found in various shapes such as cones etc.


Can people be vampires?

What instrument bends light?

Mirror (uses reflection principle), transparent glass sheet (uses refraction principle),etc are the instruments which are used to bend light.

The angle between the normal and the surface of anything is by definition always 90 degrees, regardless of whether it is a mirror, a piece of concrete, a wooden plank, etc.
