Consider a 12 inch ruler held vertically, positioned 6 inches from your eye. Now imagine two beams of light coming from the top and the bottom of the ruler, converging at your eye at an angle of 90 degrees. Your perception of the size of the ruler is determined by the angle between these two beams of light. Now image the ruler is moved back so it is 1 foot (twice as far) from your eye. The two beams of light from the top and bottom of the ruler now converge at an angle that is twice as small, 45 degrees. Therefore, the apparent size of an object is indirectly proportionate to the distance from the observer.
What else can I help you with?
What is the importance of painting?
It makes things look nicer and stops some items from deteriorating.
What is atmospheric perspective?
Atmospheric perspective is an illusion used to make a 2-dimensional art piece look 3-dimensional. Things in the back of the painting are grayer and less detailed than things at the front of the painting. This mimics how things that are closer to you are easier to see more clearly.
What is Andy Warhol's favorite colour?
Andy Warhol likes the colour SILVER, because he thinks it makes things look 'precious and reflects the light to make things sparkle.'
Why is garbage a problem in the community?

What do tides look like?
They look like a water level that's higher or lower than average. In the short term, variation in individual waves generally makes a lot more difference than the tide does, so it's hard to actually "see" the tide.
What is a curved glass that makes things look closer and larger than they are?
laissa is awsome
Why are you bigger than you look through the telescope?
the lense of a telescope is round which makes things seem closer
What is a curved glass that makes things look closer than they really are?
Curved glass that makes things look larger or closer is a magnifying glass.
Why do you use the microscope?
to look for things that you couldn't normally see, or to look at things closer
What is an instrument that makes stars look brighter and closer?
a teliscope
Did the earliest telescopes make things look thousand of times closer than they were?
Yes, the earliest telescopes made things look thousand of times closer than they were, and modern telescopes still do that.
If you look underwater are things further away or closer than they appear?
When you look underwater, objects appear closer than they actually are due to the refraction of light. The way light moves through water causes objects to appear closer and larger than they really are, which can make judging distance and size more challenging when viewing objects underwater.
Why do things look bigger in water than in air?
When light passes from air into water, it slows down and changes direction, causing objects to appear closer to the surface than they actually are. This change in how light bends at the air-water interface creates a magnifying effect, making things look larger when viewed from above the water's surface.
In a light microscope the lenses does what to the image?
makes objects look closer than they appear
What is A curved glass that makes look larger or closer than they are four letters?
Lens.
Why do objects look larger under water?
Objects appear larger underwater due to the refractive index of water. This causes light rays to bend as they pass through water, which makes objects look closer and larger than they actually are. Additionally, the distortion caused by the water can magnify the appearance of objects.
What makes things look colored?
Saturation.
