Why do we see ourselves upside down in a spoon?

You'd actually see your upside-down reflection in the bowl of a spoon (the part where the food goes); any reflection you see on the opposite side will always be upright. The inside of a spoon acts as a concave mirror, which have the interesting property of creating an inverted image when the object being reflected is located outside the focal point. If you hold the spoon as close to your face as you can, you'd see your reflection upright.


Why is your image in a spoon is upside down if you look into into the bowl but erect if you look into the back?

What a nice question. These two different images illustrate the difference between a reflection from a concave and a convex surface. However, if you look in a concave beauty/shaving mirror, you'll still find the image erect. For you will be closer to the mirror than the length of its focus. Enlarged a little indeed.


Why do things look upside down in the microscope?

its because the lens of the microscope is convex. this means that it is curved a little bit, like the lenses of glasses. this causes the image to appear upside down. try looking into the curved part of a spoon from both sides. one side your reflection is normal, but on the other side your reflection is upside down, because of concave and convex. The side where you see your reflection normal is concave, and the side where it is backwards is convex. hope i helped!


Why is the concave spoon turns upside down?

A concave spoon will appear to turn upside down when immersed in a liquid due to the refraction of light. When light passes from air into a denser medium (like water), it bends and changes direction. This bending of light causes the concave spoon to appear inverted when seen through the water.


Why are you up side down in a spoon?

When you look into the deep side a spoon, you appear to be upside down because the light particles that reach the spoon reflect in different angles, reversing the image inside. This happens because the spoon is not completely flat, and the curves create such an effect.

Do you see things upside down?

Yes, we do in fact see things upside down until our brain turns it back around for us. You can prove this fact when you look at your self on the outside of a spoon, you will see yourself upside down! In fact our eyes see things the right way up but the image appears upside down in the retina, our brain works so fast that it can interpret the image quickly. +++ The spoon is no test of how sight works, but demonstrates a property of convex mirrors!
