Why does a mirror show everything in reverse?

Mirror reflects light from an object and that means that it reflects light from the right side of an object to the right side of a mirror and light form the left side of an object to the left side of a mirror. The picture that is created in a mirror is actually a reflection of an object that is in front of a mirror and therefore it looks reverse.


How can a plane mirror ray diagram be used to illustrate the reflection of light?

A plane mirror ray diagram can be used to show how light reflects off a mirror. It helps visualize the angle of incidence being equal to the angle of reflection, and how the reflected rays form an image.


What is the difference between a mirror and a crystal?

A mirror reflects light by bouncing it off a smooth surface, creating a clear image. A crystal, on the other hand, has a three-dimensional structure that can refract and disperse light, creating colorful patterns and effects. Mirrors show a true reflection, while crystals create a more whimsical and dynamic visual experience.


Does a concave mirror show a virtual or real image?

A concave mirror can show both virtual and real images. The type of image produced depends on the position of the object relative to the focal point of the mirror.


Why does a broken mirror show multiple images and not a single one?

It is a matter of angles. If you took pieces of a broken mirror and pasted them onto a flat surface, so that all the pieces were once again on the same plane as they were originally, there would be only one image in the incomplete mirror-- even if there are large gaps where there are no mirror pieces. You would see one "image" of yourself and it would look you are seeing yourself through a mosaic. Your eyes might be in one piece, mouth and chin might be in another, etc. But all of the sections of the image would be in the right positions relative to each other. Change the angles of the pieces, and it is something like having several different mirrors. Each "plane" represented by a single piece will be like a mirror in itself, and you will appear in that piece as you would in a full-size mirror on the same plane.

What does it mean when someone reflects you?

It either means they mirror you or copy you, or it means they show yourself to you (i.e. they act as a mirror for you, so you see and understand yourself better when you are around them)
