Lots of objects can reflect an image. A mirror is simply a surface specially prepared to reflect much better than the average surface.

The way light reflects off certain surfaces can produce an image.

How does the angle of reflection affect how much you can see of yourself in a mirror?

The angle of reflection determines the direction in which light is reflected off a mirror. If you look at the mirror straight on, the angle of incidence and reflection will be equal, allowing you to see your entire reflection. As you change the angle, the reflected light will bounce away from your eyes, making it harder to see yourself fully in the mirror.


How did the mirror distort Zeke and Finnigan and true reflection?

Well, honey, that mirror played them like a fiddle. It twisted Zeke's face like he just ate a lemon, and Finnigan looked like he was melting in the sun. The true reflection? Well, let's just say it was more like a funhouse mirror than a crystal-clear reflection.


Why are things backwards in the mirror?

Things appear backwards in the mirror because mirrors reflect light waves. When you look in a mirror, the reflection appears reversed because the mirror is reflecting the image as if it were behind the mirror rather than in front of it.


How does one-way mirror work?

A one-way mirror, also known as a two-way mirror, is partially reflective and partially transparent. This means that in well-lit conditions, one side of the mirror appears as a regular reflective mirror and the other side appears transparent. The reflection is stronger when the light on one side is brighter than the light on the other side, allowing people on the brighter side to see their reflection while those on the darker side can see through.


Is the the image in a convex mirror always upright and smaller than the object?

Yes, in a convex mirror the image is always upright and smaller than the object. This is because the light rays diverge upon reflection, creating an image that appears behind the mirror and is diminished in size.

What is another way to see your reflection other than a mirror?

in very still water (river/lake) or camera photo

How can you see your whole reflection in a mirror smaller than you?

Back away from it


Can the angle of incidence be greater than the angle of reflection when plane mirror?

No, if the mirror is flat (a plane), the angle of incidence always equals the angle of reflection.


What is multiple reflection?

A multiple reflection is when there is mirror more than one we can create multiple reflections which leads to multiple images. A seismic wave which has more than one reflection is also known as repeated reflection; secondary reflection .


Is the angle of incidence less than the angle of reflection on a plane mirror?

they are equal

How big is Proctor and Gamble?

if u see in a mirror,,, their is a reflection behind ''.. u can say your body smaller than a mirror.... being gamble is big than prctor..

As you look at an ordinary mirror at large angle you can often see more than one image why?

In addition to the primary image formed by one reflection off the back of the mirror, you may get images formed after two reflections and a total internal refraction: reflection off the back of mirror, refraction on inside of front surface of glass and reflection off back of the mirror. The refraction will only take place at a large angle.
