Look for a discussion of this by Richard Feynman available on Utube.
Little miss me9087's answer
if you are confused by the video- like i was:
Line up two mirrors- so that one is behind you and one is in front of you
You should be able to see the mirror behind you in the mirror in front
now wave your left hand if you look in you should see that in the mirror behind u, u r still waving your left hand NOT YOUR RIGHT.
It is because if you look in the mirror, it is north and south that have been mixed up. Your nose is north on your face but in the mirror it is south!
What else can I help you with?
Name two types of curved mirrors?
Concave mirrors and convex mirrors are two types of curved mirrors. Concave mirrors converge light rays to a focal point and can form real or virtual images. Convex mirrors diverge light rays and produce virtual, upright, and diminished images.
Name the kinds of mirrors that can produce only virtual images?
Concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images, depending on the object's position. However, convex mirrors are the type that can only produce virtual images, regardless of the object's distance from the mirror. This is because the reflected rays diverge, making it impossible to form a real image. The virtual images produced by convex mirrors are upright and smaller than the actual object.
Why same sizes of plane mirrors shows different sizes of images?
When two plane mirrors of the same size are placed at different angles to each other, the size of the images they create can appear different due to the way light reflects off them. The angle of incidence and reflection will affect how the rays of light bounce off the mirrors, resulting in variations in the size of the reflected images. Additionally, the position of the observer relative to the mirrors can also impact the perceived size of the images.
What are the characteristics of the different types of mirrors?
Mirrors can be classified into three main types: plane, concave, and convex. Plane mirrors have a flat surface, producing an upright image that is the same size as the object. Concave mirrors curve inward, focusing light and creating magnified images, making them useful in applications like shaving mirrors or telescopes. Convex mirrors curve outward, producing smaller, upright images that provide a wider field of view, commonly used in vehicle side mirrors for safety.
Why mirrors might be useful to be able to see images of your earth from space?
Mirrors can be useful for viewing images of Earth from space by reflecting sunlight, which enhances visibility and contrast in satellite imagery. They can also direct light to sensors or cameras, improving image quality and detail. This capability allows for better monitoring of environmental changes, urban development, and natural disasters. Additionally, mirrors can facilitate communication between satellites and ground stations, aiding in data transmission.
How many images when two mirrors are at an angle of 45 degrees?
You will see 7 images.
What is the formula to find the number of images when two plane mirrors are kept parallel?
we can see infinite images.
What are the uses for mirrors?
to look at yourself, to see something in mirror-image (backwards), to see something on the back of your body.
What mirrors show virtual or real images?
Mirrors that show virtual images are concave mirrors, while mirrors that show real images are convex mirrors. Concave mirrors can create magnified or reduced virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror, while convex mirrors always create smaller, upright, and virtual images.
Why do you see many images of your self when you stand between two parallel mirrors?
when we stand between two parallel mirrors the first one reflects us and the second one reflects the first mirror this is why we see many images of our self when you stand between two parallel mirrors.
Why Is Police Written Backwards On The Car Bonnet?
So you can see the word the right way round in your mirrors.
Which types of images are produced by convex mirrors?
dont no dont care . Virtual diminished images. Look at one and see, most outside mirrors on cars are convex.
Why do mirrors reflect images in reverse?
Mirrors reflect images in reverse because they work by reflecting light rays that bounce off an object and then back to our eyes. This reflection causes the image to appear flipped horizontally, creating the reverse effect we see in mirrors.
Can convex mirrors produce real images?
No, convex mirrors cannot produce real images. They only produce virtual images.
How is what you see in curved mirrors different from ordinary flat mirrors?
Curved mirrors, such as concave and convex mirrors, distort the reflection of objects due to their curved surface. Concave mirrors can focus light to create real or virtual images, while convex mirrors always produce virtual images that are smaller than the object. In contrast, flat mirrors provide a true reflection of objects without any distortion or magnification.
What types of images do mirrors produce?
virtual images
Would Images formed by curved mirrors will look identical to to the images formed by flat mirrors?
No. They will look different.
