Why are several images seen when you look obliquely into a mirror with a candle as an image and which image is very bright?

When you look obliquely into a mirror with a candle, multiple images are seen due to the reflection of light at different angles. This phenomenon occurs because the light from the candle bounces off the mirror surface and can reflect back multiple times between parallel surfaces, creating several images. The brightest image is typically the original candle's reflection, as it comes directly from the light source, while subsequent reflections may appear dimmer due to the loss of light intensity with each reflection.


Is there another planet that is a mirror images of earth and all its living and man made things?

As of current scientific understanding, no known planet in the universe is an exact mirror image of Earth in terms of its living and man-made things. Each planet has its own unique characteristics and environmental conditions that make it different from Earth.


How many rainbows can be made at once?

Technically, there can be multiple rainbows visible at once if the conditions are right, such as multiple rain showers or a combination of sunlight and water droplets in different directions. However, each rainbow is a unique product of light refraction and reflection, so each one is individual and temporary.


Do other planets have rainbows?

You need some form of rain or spray of liquid for a rainbow to occur, and it doesn't need to be water. Any liquid that doesn't absorb light will do, because light needs to enter and exit a drop of liquid to produce a rainbow. Saturn's moon "Titan" has rain of liquid methane, which can produce rainbows with an angular radius of 48.5° (Water rainbows on Earth have an angular radius of 42.4°). Since Titan's atmosphere is orange, the rainbow would have an overall orange tint, though.


Why are rainbows Multicolored?

Rainbows appear multicolored because sunlight is made up of different wavelengths of light, and each wavelength bends and reflects at a slightly different angle when it passes through water droplets in the air. This separation of light creates the bands of colors we see in a rainbow.

Molecules that are mirror images of one other are called?

Enantiomers. These molecules are non-superimposable mirror images of each other due to their chiral nature.

Does D and L isomers are mirror images?

Yes, D and L isomers are enantiomers and are indeed mirror images of each other. They are non-superimposable mirror images, like our left and right hands.

What are super imposable mirror images?

Superimposable mirror images are mirror images that can be placed on top of each other and perfectly overlap, resulting in the same molecule or object. These types of mirror images are known as "identical" or "superimposable" because they are the same in terms of spatial arrangement, chirality, and configuration. In chemistry, superimposable mirror images are referred to as enantiomers.

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.


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.

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.
