Why can you see images in the mirror?
When particles of light called photons hit surfaces, they bounce off and some reach, and enter, our eyes. Photons that hit smooth surfaces, such as mirrors, bounce off at the same angle at which they hit the surfaces. The scientific term for this phenomenon is reflection, and this is why we can see images in mirrors.
Does a convex lens invert images?
Yes. Image formed by convex lens is laterally inverted. However, It should be kept in mind that convex lens can form both real and virtual images. If the object is placed beyond F (Focus), then real image will be formed and laterally inverted. However, if the object is placed between F and C. Then the images formed will be virtual but NOT laterally inverted. For concave lens, all images formed is on the same side so the images formed is NOT laterally inverted
What are the practical uses for concave and convex mirrors?
Some practical uses for concave and convex mirrors are in medical instruments, car mirrors, and telescopes.
Can mirrors reflect light?
Yes. Mirrors reflect all wavelengths of visible light and possibly some infrared or ultraviolet.

Why do ghosts appear in a mirror?
Just as vampires are said not to have reflections, some ghosts are said to appear in mirrors while otherwise invisible. The intangible nature of virtual images is often associated with surreal or supernatural influences.
Why some images on mirror appear to be erect?
Some images on a mirror usually appear erect because of the concave mirror.
Why are multiple images formed when two mirrors are placed at right angles to each other?
With two mirrors at right angles you will have 3 (360/90 - 1) images of an object. Two of these are primary and the third is secondary. Some light rays from the object bounce of each of the mirrors to your eye to form the two primary images. But there are other rays that bounce off a mirror onto the second mirror before they get to you. This produced the secondary image.

What are some examples of mirrors?
Magnifying mirrors, side mirrors on cars and trucks, certain securuty mirrors.

What are the use of plain mirror in Kaleidoscopes?
There are at least 2 plane mirrors at some angle to each other in a Kaleidoscope, in order to create the symmetrically-multiple images that is the instrument's point.
Are the mirrors in a babies dresser made of plexiglass?
Some are pleiglass but most are glass mirrors
How long after expiration dateis pumpkin okay?
As long as the can is not bulged, it is alright. After a few years, it will loose some of it's flavor, but it will not be spoiled.
What are some examples of concave mirrors?
Mirrors in flashlights and headlights, mirrors for shaving or make up. A mirror to make objects look bigger.

Some practical uses for concave and convex mirrors are in medical instruments, car mirrors, and telescopes.
