No. The proof is to stand before a mirror and to have a friend lay down in front of you facing the mirror. If you raise your left hand you may be fooled into thinking that a right-left flip has occurred. But if that is so, why is your friend's head not flipped in position with his feet? When he raises the free hand, it may appear that there is a flip, but you still appear upright.
This is a strong and extremely persistent illusion that we create in our minds. The illusion is based on a simple and obvious fact: our BODIES are right-left symmetrical to a very high degree, but they are NOT up-down symmetrical. Why would a mirror not reflect back this basic symmetry? What you see reflected back when you lift a hand is the mirror image of the hand you raised. Another perspective would be to see your reflection as an image 'from behind', something a little like those concave sculptures that make it appear that a face is following you as you pass.

How does the Chandra gamma ray observatory work?
Do you mean the Chandra X-ray observatory? Chandra does not operate in the gamma ray wavelengths, it typically can observe light in the "soft" X-ray wavelengths (from about 10 to .10 nm). Gamma rays generally have wavelengths of .001 nm or smaller. Earth's atmosphere actually absorbs most X-rays, so in order to see at that wavelength, a space telescope was needed. Also, X-rays and gamma rays are so energetic that they cannot be gathered by normal means such as a curved optical mirror used in most "optical" telescopes (for visible wavelengths and even some infrared/ultraviolet imaging). X-ray light will pass right through these kinds of mirrors. Chandra uses a series of concentric parabolic mirrors that slightly deflect the paths of x-ray photons towards a detector. Here are some images to compare optical mirrors to Chandra's mirrors. wisconsinastronomy.org/images/scopes/NewtCut_m.jpg spie.org/Images/Graphics/Newsroom/Imported/11_243_0_2006-01-17/11_fig2.jpg Hope this helps.
In Paint Shop Pro how do you make images translucent so you can see through them?
On the right there is a layer panel (if not, right click and make sure it's activated). Then you can choose the opacity of the layer.
What is stereographic photography?
Stereographic photography is a system for giving the appearance of 3D images using two 2D (conventional) images. Two images are taken from slightly different points (separated by roughly the distance between two eyes; around 4 inches). Ideally, the two images are taken with two identical cameras with identical settings, but it is possible to get acceptable images using the one camera and simply moving it by a few inches between shots. With the two images available, some way is used to present the left image to the left eye and the right image to the right eye. There are several techniques: The "simplest" is to use a stereoscope - this device looks a little like a pair of binoculars; essentially it's two tubes, one for each eye, and the left image is at the end of the left tube, the right is at the end of the right tube. When held up to the eyes the images combine to form the stereoscopic image. Another system combines the two images into a colour separated single image (nowadays using software) which is viewed using special glasses with coloured filters so that the left image is only seen with the left eye, the right image only seen with the right. A similar system uses polarised glasses - the two images are projected simultaneously using a polarised filter (say horizontal in front of the left, vertical in front of the right) when viewed with matching glasses, again the left image goes to the left eye, the right image to the right. There are also "active" systems - the two images are projected alternating; first left, then right. Special glasses blank first the right eye then the left in synchronism with the projection. Provided the alternation is fast enough, the brain will combine the alternating image into a single 3D image. It should be noted that so called 3D films and images produced using these techniques aren't actually 3D; they're stereoscopic. In a true 3D image (such as a hologram) you can choose to focus on any part of the image and the eye can bring it into sharp focus. That isn't the case with a stereoscopic image - one of the reasons that some viewers report headaches when watching "3D" films is that the image is actually flat - projected onto a flat screen, but the eye "tries" to focus at different distances because it thinks it's seeing a 3D image, this creates eye strain.
What is the partition that divides the heart?
No. The heart is actually divided into four sections. They are the left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, and finally the right ventricle.
What letter is after z?
nothing really, but on the keyboard z comes after x! cool right!
How many images are formed when two mirrors are placed at a right angle?
3 Images
What is true about real images?
Only plane mirrors produce real images. I beleve this is right.
What type of images do plane mirrors produce?
Plane mirrors produce virtual images that are laterally inverted, meaning the left side appears as right and vice versa. These images appear to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front.
Is there going to be a flipped 2?
I really hope there is a 2nd flipped except the author will have to right another book But that's very unlikely
Why do mirrors flip horizontally?
Mirrors flip horizontally because they reflect light in a way that reverses the left and right sides of an image. This is due to the way light bounces off the smooth surface of the mirror, causing the image to appear flipped.
How do you know when its a right triangle?
It will have an L shape flipped around at the corner. or you can use a protractor or type in google images 'right angle triangle' they will have an L shape at the corner of the right angled triangle.
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.
Why are mirror images perfect?
No ! The images formed by a mirror are not perfect !!The finest images are those formed by a right angled PRISM . However the rays from the object need to fall perpendicularly on prism's surface . Thus for convenience mirrors are used .
Are real images laterally inverted?
Yes, real images produced by concave mirrors are laterally inverted. This means that the left side of the object appears on the right side of the image, and vice versa.
How you can see number of images formed by mirror?
As we place two mirrors inclined with each other then many images are formed. If @ is the angle of inclination then number of images is got by the formula [360/@] - 1 Hence as we place the two mirrors at right angles ie 90 degree then number of images will be 3 If both mirrors kept parallel facing each other then infinite images are formed.
What is the difference between a concave mirror and a convex mirror?
ShapeConcave mirrors curve inward, creating a focal point in front of the mirror. Convex mirrors curve outward creating a focal point behind the mirror.Concave ImageBecause of their shape and focal point placement, images in concave mirrors appear upside down and far away. However, when you move closer, the object enlarges. If you get close enough, the object enlarges more and the image is right-side up.Convex ImageIn a convex mirror, images appear right-side up, shrunken and virtual, or placed somewhere behind the mirror.
Which type if image is produced by a plane mirror?
Plane mirrors produce virtual images that are upright and laterally inverted (left to right). These images cannot be projected on a screen and appear to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
