They said vampires didn't have a soul, so since it was also thought that when you look in a mirror you saw your soul.

What is the reflection from a mirror called?

Just that: reflection. There can be a virtual image, an imaginary image, an inverted image etc depenting on the shape of the surface of the mirror.


What is a example of reflection?

One example of reflection is taking a moment to think about your recent actions, decisions, or experiences, and considering what you learned from them or how they may impact your future choices. It involves looking inward to gain insight, perspective, and growth.


How does reflection differ from refraction?

Refraction is the bending of light after passing through a medium. Reflection is the bouncing back of light after striking a polished smooth surface like a mirror,clear water,polished metal,etc.


What kind of image do you see when you look into the mirror?

The simple answer is one. The main reflection from the silvered surface on the back side of the mirror glass. A second reflection occurs from the front surface of the glass. However, this will be fainter since the reflectivity to transmittance of glass is low. The philosophical answer is infinite. Any reflective surface on you body (your eyes, for example) reflects the image in the mirror which reflect the image from the reflection... A pragmatist would set a limit at these reflections (the intensity is less than the sensitivity of the eyes, the image is smaller than the wavelength of visible light, etc.).


If the law of reflection applies to all objects why cant you see all your reflections?

The law of reflection is based on the basic laws of physics. The reflectivity of a surface depends on how flat the surface is and the smoothness of the individual particles. For instance, a stop sign is made of particles that have several reflective surfaces, and thus it reflects in several controlled directions. A mirror coated with silver is an extremely flat surface and reflects in only one direction. Given the right conditions (temperature, light frequency, air density, etc) all surfaces are reflective, hence the mirage in the desert may be a lake or mouontain that is hundreds of miles away. Everything has a reflection, except vampires, you just have to be at the proper angle for the materials involved.

How is the law of reflection used in everyday life?

When people look in your mirror to shave, apply make-up, etc.


Objects with reflection?

Mirrors, windows, smooth water surfaces, and metallic surfaces are examples of objects that can exhibit reflection. When light hits these surfaces, it bounces off and creates a reflected image of the surrounding scene. Reflection is the process where light rays bounce off a surface and change direction, allowing us to see objects that are not directly in our line of sight.


How come when you look in the mirrior you get different reflection sometimes in skinny average or fat?

Your reflection is based on the shape the mirror is.Example:If the mirror was bent outwards the reflected image would appear wider.If the mirror was bent inwards the reflected image would appear thinner.Usually you can commonly find mirrors like these in fun houses, and can be found in various shapes such as cones etc.

Can people be vampires?

No. Vampires, werewolves, mermaids etc are fairy tales. They are not real


What instrument bends light?

Mirror (uses reflection principle), transparent glass sheet (uses refraction principle),etc are the instruments which are used to bend light.


What is the angle between the normal and the surface of a mirror?

The angle between the normal and the surface of anything is by definition always 90 degrees, regardless of whether it is a mirror, a piece of concrete, a wooden plank, etc.


Is there going to be a eclipse and breaking dawn vampires suck?

no because vampires don't suck if they are on Twilight etc but only the ones on vampire diaries etc do.


Do some vampires suck animal blood?

Vampire bats do. Vampires as depicted in the movies etc are not real.


Is there any possible way that vampires could exist?

i dont think so.. on the other hand, their are several terms.. vampires, evils demons etc etc.. well i dnt knw abt everyone, butt vampires exist and they have their society somewhere in USA, and they have their own people with whom they react... just like friends bcm vampire and just tastes blood, not drink it like water... watch national geographic doc. on vampires.. thankuu
