A mirror creates an image by reflecting light rays that bounce off of an object and into our eyes. This reflection creates an exact replica of the object's appearance, resulting in an image.
Objects appear reversed in a mirror because the light rays that bounce off of the object are reflected at the same angle but in the opposite direction, resulting in a flipped image.
No, a mirror cannot create a perfect image. Due to the curved surface and imperfections of the mirror, there will always be some distortion or blurring in the reflected image.
The distance between an object and a mirror affects the size of the image through the principle of reflection. The closer an object is to the mirror, the larger the reflected image will appear. Conversely, the farther away an object is from the mirror, the smaller the reflected image will appear.
Yes, a mirror can produce multiple images of the same object. This phenomenon is known as an infinite reflection and occurs when light reflects between two parallel mirrors, creating an endless series of reflections.
