What are the conditions for seeing the image of an object in a plane mirror?
-- Light has to shine on the object, and some of it has to reflect off of the object. -- Some of the reflected light has to make it to the mirror. There can't be any physical obstruction in the path. -- The mirror has to be clean enough so that some of the light hitting the mirror is reflected away from it. -- Your eye has to be on the path taken by the light after it reflects from the mirror.
What happens to your image when you look in a mirror?
When you look in a mirror, the light rays bounce off you, hit the mirror, and get reflected back to your eyes. This reflection creates a virtual image of yourself that appears to be behind the mirror.
Can a plane mirror form real and inverted image?
No, a plane mirror can only form virtual and upright images. The image produced by a plane mirror appears to be behind the mirror, the same distance as the object in front of the mirror, and is always the same size as the object.
What words have horizontal reflection?
Some examples of words that have horizontal reflection symmetry are "level," "radar," and "civic." These words read the same forwards and backwards.
Does a concave mirror create a virtual image?
An virtual image is an image that is formed not by the intersection of two light beams, but it appears that these light beams intersect at some point. The optics of convex mirror doesn't allow the light beams to intersect at any position of object in relation to the mirror. Thus one can never get any real image using convex mirror
Is a photo or your mirror image a more accurate representation of how other people see you?
Neither of them. The way human eye sees the world is completely different from the image you see on the photo and mirror. First of all, the plane mirror reverses the image. It reverses letters and words the same way it does with your face. Also remember that the mirror is an image of something else, so it carries some distortion. It also unshapes your face. On the other hand, the photo shows third-dimension objects on a two-dimension surface. So, the image on the photo is unreal if compared to human eye and it is also distorted from reality. As you will never see yourself, try to understand how people happen to see you.
What are some words describing a mirror?
Silvered glass
How does an image get to be reflected in a mirror?
When light hits an object, it bounces off and travels in all directions. Some of this light enters our eyes, allowing us to see the object. When this light hits a mirror, it reflects off the mirror's surface and back towards our eyes, creating the reflection of the image.
What kind of image appear behind mirrors?
Your question isn't really clear. In one interpretation - you don't get an image behind a good mirror, as good mirrors aren't transparent. As close to all light that hits the front of the mirror as to make no difference will be bounced back the way it came. Now, if you have a poor mirror, some light will actually continue through, and the image visible behind the mirror would be as if there was a window instead of a mirror - only a lot weaker.
Why your images appear thin or bulged out in some mirrors?
When light reflects off a curved mirror, it can cause the image to appear distorted. A concave mirror can make the image appear thinner, while a convex mirror can make it appear bulged out. This distortion occurs due to how the curved surface bends the light rays, impacting the way the reflected image is formed.
What isomers that are mirror images of each other?
Chiral molecules have mirror-image isomers
What words look exactly the same in the mirror as they do on paper?
Some examples of words that look the same in the mirror as they do on paper are "MOM," "DAD," "NOON," and "EYE." These words have symmetry either horizontally or vertically, allowing them to appear the same when reflected in a mirror.
