When particles of light called photons hit surfaces, they bounce off and some reach, and enter, our eyes. Photons that hit smooth surfaces, such as mirrors, bounce off at the same angle at which they hit the surfaces. The scientific term for this phenomenon is reflection, and this is why we can see images in mirrors.

What is a reflection in the mirror called?
A reflection in the mirror is called a mirror image. Mirror images are the virtual images that we see when looking at our reflection in a mirror.
What types of images are produced by a concave mirror?
A concave mirror is dished in ward. A convex mirror domed. Both images will be distorted in size from actuality. A convex mirror will give a wider view of what you are looking at in the mirror. A concave mirror will compress and magnify the image being viewed.
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.
How do the images appear in a convex mirror?
Images in a convex mirror appear smaller, virtual, and upright. The reflected image is located behind the mirror and its size depends on the object's distance from the mirror.
How you can see number of images formed by mirror?
As we place two mirrors inclined with each other then many images are formed. If @ is the angle of inclination then number of images is got by the formula [360/@] - 1 Hence as we place the two mirrors at right angles ie 90 degree then number of images will be 3 If both mirrors kept parallel facing each other then infinite images are formed.
What is a reflection in the mirror called?
A reflection in the mirror is called a mirror image. Mirror images are the virtual images that we see when looking at our reflection in a mirror.
How do we see images in a mirror?
Light 'bouncing' off the subject is reflected back by the mirror.
Images are seen in a mirror as a result of what?
Images are a result of reflected light. That is why you can't see yourself in the dark.
Why some images on mirror appear to be erect?
Some images on a mirror usually appear erect because of the concave mirror.
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 types of images are produced by a concave mirror?
A concave mirror is dished in ward. A convex mirror domed. Both images will be distorted in size from actuality. A convex mirror will give a wider view of what you are looking at in the mirror. A concave mirror will compress and magnify the image being viewed.
What type pf images can a concave mirror form?
A concave mirror can form real images or virtual images depending on the object position relative to the focal point of the mirror. Real images are formed when the object is located beyond the focal point, while virtual images are formed when the object is located between the mirror and the focal point.
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 reflects like a mirror but does not show itself?
An answer to this riddle is "A camera." Cameras reflect images like a mirror, but the camera itself is not visible in its own images.
How are images formed in a mirror?
Images are formed in a mirror through the reflection of light rays. When light rays hit a mirror, they bounce off at the same angle they hit the mirror, creating a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror.
