the reason a far object looks small is because of the light bouncing off of that object. only the light waves bouncing off and comming directly to your eye will you see. there is much more light being reflected from that object but because of your distance from it the majority of the light waves have traveled in other directions. ( here is a thought experiment ) if you had a 1foot by 1foot mirror and you were standing 100 feet in front of it, if you shined a flashlight directly at the mirror would the light be the same brightness when it is reflected back.

What does the image of an object look like for a concave mirror when the object is far away?
When the object is far away from a concave mirror, the image formed is real, inverted, and highly magnified. This image is formed at the focal point of the mirror.
Describe the attitude and approximate size of the image when an object is very close to and far from a convex lens?
When an object is very close to a convex lens, the image appears larger than the object and can be virtual, upright, and magnified. In contrast, when the object is far from the lens, the image is smaller than the object and can be real, inverted, and diminished in size.
When would you use a stereoscope microscope?

What happens when you look at an object that is far away?
When you look at an object that is far away, the light rays reflecting off the object appear more parallel by the time they reach your eyes. This causes the lens in your eye to flatten, which helps focus the image on the retina. Your brain then processes this information to perceive the distant object as smaller and potentially less detailed compared to closer objects.
