In case of reflection phenomenon rays have to fall on the surface. So if we stand on the side of the mirror rays emanating from our body could not fall the mirror surface and hence no reflection.

Why can you see yourself in the mirror when it is light?

Mirrors work by reflecting light that strikes their surface. When light hits the mirror, it bounces off at the same angle it comes in, allowing you to see the reflection of yourself. This reflection appears as if you are looking at yourself from the other side of the mirror.


Why does our left side appear right side when we see our image in a plane mirror?

In a plane mirror, the image appears laterally inverted because the light rays reflect off the mirror and create a virtual image that appears to be on the opposite side of the mirror. This is why our left side appears as the right side in a mirror reflection.

What is a one-way mirror and how does it work?

A one-way mirror, also known as a two-way mirror, is a special type of mirror that allows light to pass through from one side while reflecting light on the other side. This creates the illusion of transparency on one side and reflection on the other. The side with more light will see through the mirror, while the side with less light will see only their reflection. This effect is achieved by controlling the amount of light on each side of the mirror.


What is the purpose of a two-way mirror and how can you test if a mirror is a two-way mirror?

A two-way mirror is designed to allow one side to be reflective like a regular mirror, while the other side is transparent, allowing people on one side to see through it. To test if a mirror is a two-way mirror, you can place your fingertip on the surface - if there is a gap between your finger and its reflection, it may be a two-way mirror.
