The reflected image in a polished spoon is inverted because light rays reflect off the curved surface of the spoon, causing them to cross over each other. The reduction in size occurs because the curved surface acts like a concave mirror, which converges the reflected light rays towards a focal point, resulting in a smaller image being formed.
What else can I help you with?
Is the image formed by the lens upright or inverted?
The image formed by a lens can be either upright or inverted, depending on the position of the object relative to the focal point of the lens. If the object is beyond the focal point, the image will be real, inverted, and reduced. If the object is within the focal point, the image will be virtual, upright, and magnified.
Why an image on concave surface is inverted and not on concave mirror?
When an image is placed on a concave surface (like a spoon), the image appears inverted because the light rays are reflected back in a way that causes them to cross over, creating an inverted image. On a concave mirror, the shape and curvature of the mirror cause the light rays to converge at a focal point, resulting in a real, inverted image being formed.
What type of image is formed by a mirror if m -0.4?
If the mirror has a magnification of -0.4, it means the image is upright and reduced in size. The negative sign indicates the image is inverted.
Which describes a reflected image in a plane mirror?
A reflected image in a plane mirror is laterally inverted, meaning it appears reversed from left to right compared to the original object. The image is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, and the size of the image is equal to the size of the object.
How do you determine whether the images are real or virtual upright or inverted and enlarged or reduced?
To determine if an image is real or virtual, check if the light rays actually converge at the image point (real) or appear to diverge from it (virtual). To determine if the image is upright or inverted, check the orientation of the object and image along the optical axis. To determine if the image is enlarged or reduced, compare the size of the object and the image formed by the lens or mirror.
How the image formed in concave?
Real, reduced, and inverted.

You should get inverted image through your eye as there is a convex lenswhy it is not happening?
we do get inverted image at the ratina. But this inverted image itself is being treated as errected by our mind.
What part of the eye is the inverted image formed?
The inverted or upside-down image is formed on the retina.
What occurs when light hits a polished surface?
When light hits a polished surface, it is reflected at the same angle it hits the surface, following the law of reflection. The smoothness of the surface allows for more regular and specular reflection, resulting in a clear image or mirror-like effect.
What is an inverted image?
An image that is upside down as compared to the object are known as inverted images. Example, the first thing you will notice is that the concave side of the spoon makes your image come upside down. Such an image is called an inverted image.
How and when is the image inverted?
Whenever a real image is formed by a real object,the image is always inverted. for eg when light rays from infinity falls on convex lens it forms a real and inverted image at focal plane.
Why you are getting right image instead of inverted image through our eye?
The image is inverted when it reaches the retina. The brain then interperets the image as right-side-up.
