Is your image in a mirror 2D or 3D?

We see images in mirror. Similarly we see pictures in T.V screen, Cinema screen, and in computer screen.  All we see in a single plane surfaces. \n\nConsider the moment, when all pictures seen in them are still including the image in mirror.\n\n To view them leisurely, we take photos of all and print them and paste them all in their position. \n\nWhat is the difference between the previous one and the present one?\n\nBoth are in the single plane. Behind the plane there is wall or some electrical gadgets only.\n\nIf images in mirror are three dimensional then all pictures and the drawings in the books will be three dimensional. However, we try to give the three dimensional effect in picture drawn on a plane paper. A cube can be drawn in a paper and can be visualized in three dimensions. That does not mean that the drawing is three dimensional.\n\nBut real images can have actual three dimensions. In that case we say it is a three dimensional image.  But the real image formed in a camera screen is two dimensional.\n\nHence all virtual images are two dimensions only even though they appear to be three dimensional. \n\nReal images can be either two dimensional or three dimensional. \n\nReal images are only images and are not real objects even though they are three dimensional images.

You're looking at an image reflexed 5 feet away while standing 5 feet away. \nSo the image in the mirror would be a total of 10 feet away from you. Want to see it 5 feet away? Move up some more ;)

in a 2d object or representation, it would be the area. In a 3 dimensional object it would be the volume.

reflection can produce a differnt image.. but translation is moving the image up down right or left

mirror is designed to reflect the light and no refraction light .. from it .. so the reflection angel will be zero

A mirror is a surface with good specular reflection that is smooth enough to form an image. The best known example is the plane mirror. The most common use is in the home for personal grooming but mirrors are also used in scientific apparatus such as telescopes and lasers, and in industrial machinery.\n\n\nIn this diagram plane waves reflect off a parabolic mirror to form waves converging onto a focal point.In a plane mirror, a parallel beam of light changes its direction as a whole, whilst still remaining parallel; the images formed by a plane mirror are virtual images, of the same size as the original object (see mirror image). There are also parabolic concave mirrors, where a parallel beam of light becomes a convergent beam, whose rays intersect in the focus of the mirror. Finally, there are convex mirrors, where a parallel beam becomes divergent, with the apparent intersection occurring behind the mirror. Note that spherical concave and convex mirrors do not have a single focal point, as often described in high school physics text books (see spherical aberration in lens (optics) and aberration in optical systems).\n\nA beam of light reflects off a mirror at an angle of reflection that is equal to its angle of incidence. That is, if the beam of light is shining on a mirror's surface at a 30° angle from vertical, then it reflects from the point of incidence at a 30° angle from vertical in the opposite direction.

a mirror reflects light and reflects what light reflects off of (like if the light is on, you can be seen in the mirror).  Your shirt also reflects light.  A red shirt absorbs all the colors of light except for red, which is reflected.

playing around with mirrors....and light.....and lenses

It could be a double reflection.  If the image you see is in the correct orientation, than it is a daouble reflection, or reflected any even number of times.  The object is in front of you which reflects off the left window, into the right window, where you are looking.

since its a concave mirror, f = -31.6 cm\nlet object position be u and image position v\n\nmagnifivation m = - v/u = h'/h      h is abject size n h' image size\nresulting image is uprigth so h' is +ve and is 6h\n- v/u = 6 or v = -6u\nby mirror formula 1/v+1/u=1/f\n1/u = 1/f-1/v\n1/u = 1/f + 1/6u\n5/(6u) = 1/f\nu = f * 5/6\nu = 31.6 * 5/6\nu= 26.3 cm(approx)\nits kept at a distance 26.3 cm from the pole of the concave mirror.

The difference is....if you place a screen where the images is suppose to be and you can actually see an image, then it's real. Otherwise it's virtual.\n\nThis applies to diverging lenses, among others.\n\nAs much as I dislike using websites in my responses, sometimes it can't be avoided....like now.\n\nIn the link below, about half way down it talkes about a little a virtual image.\n\nHope this helps you.

Generally household mirrors are a highly reflective silver.  \n\nAnything that is highly reflective can be considered a "mirror" (like the smooth waters of a pond, or a shiny black rock).  More than color, it is smoothness that matters in making a mirror.\n\nA porous surface scatters light in many directions while a smooth surface will reflect light back in a single direction, hence the "mirror" effect.

The equation which relates the object distance (Do), the image distance (Di), and the focal length (f) of the mirror is\n\n1/Do + 1/Di = 1/f\n\nSolving for the image distance\n\nDi = 1/(1/f - 1/Do) = f*Do/(Do - f)\n\nFor this case, the image will be minified and inverted. FYI, the magnification is given by M = -Di/Do, where a negative value indicates and inverted image. These results can be verified through ray tracing.

yes i have a solution...\nYeah. From a mirror, you'll see its lense. Just turn off the flash. From facing 2 mirrors and positioning moblie in between, you'll see both sides.

Virtual.\nA real image is one that can be projected, like from a movie projector.

Image in a plane mirror will be at the back sidekof the mirror at a distace equal to the distance in which the object is infront of the mirror.\n\nHence the answer is 15 mm.

I realize I am out of my league as far as physics,, but the image reflects directly back to the source in front of it. For the reflection to appear upside down or vertically mirrored the light would have to be bent.\n\nok looked it up.  It is because of the predicatable behavior of light known as the law of reflection
