why does our face appears to be inverted when we see it in a metal spoon?

For an image to be seen it has  to reflect light. Light doe snot always travel in a straight line. Magnification is the ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object. In case the  magnification is negative, the image is inverted.

yes. this is a interesting question. the same process happens in you eyes which is also a lens that convex lenses projects upside down images, your eyes then after getting this Image it is transformed in the form of wave impulse and then sends to the spinal cord. this image is carried out again as a form of an object to be researched in your brain as a new object or an object that you old knew. Reason why when you see some thing for the first time you do take much time finding it position and what it is by changing position and recording as much information as you can for the next time you meet the same object .so when you get to know that this object is positioned this why then automatically it is recorded in you mind. so Then Images is really upside down after being returned in the normal position by your main commander( impulse receiver and impulse record)as it is in you hand or it applies in front of you.

Because someone really messed with your ruler.  Or maybe you're just holding it backward ...

Why do we appear backwards in the reflection of a mirror? How do we see our true image?\n\nWebsite below has the answers.

Please,ask your friend to stand beside the mirror.And to look yourself in the mirror you stand opposite to the mirror.Now look at your friend first,you notice that your friend`s right hand and your left hand are on the side.Rise your left hand, simutaneously  hand at the right side of the image will rise to the same position.Then ask your friend to rise  his  right hand,there is no difference between the side of hand of the image and hand of your friend.But  there is difference between your hand and of the image. This is becuase you are facing opposite to the mirror.That is 180 degree angular difference horizontally  is there between you and the mirror as you and the mirror are facing opposite to one another.once again look your friend, check the vertical difference, that is head & legs of your friend  that are at the same position as of yours.This is because there is no vertical angular difference between you and your friend.Same applies to the mirror.Further ask your friend to turn 180 degree horizontally at the same place. Then your friend also facing opposite to the mirror, same as you are facing.Notice that there is no remarkable change in the  position of your heads and the top of the mirror.

Mine is u-shaped. It goes in kind of like a corkscrew. The straight end starts things off, and then you twist to seat the rest of the stud. It feels weird (unpleasant, actually) until you've done it a few times and get used to the sensation.

Not to sound like a nerd, but since it is at an angle higher than that of your face, it reflects your light pattern (Your face) in an upside down angle. To make a long story short, its like a fun house mirror. Try tilting it at different angle and maybe you will see yourself right side up!

Its just an optical illusion.  Kind of like when you lay a banana next to a watermelon.  It looks pretty small. If you take the same banana and lay it next to a grape, then it looks pretty darn big!

You can see only the first pin in FULL. all other pins are shadowed behind it. When viewing face on, you cant see the others in full.

I work in the health care field and I have the same problem. It's something to do with the texture. Even thinking about it gives me the goosebumps. I have even run into a few patients who are the same way.

A mirror CAN make things look upside down.  Stand in front of a mirror and hold a book up so you're reading the cover.  Now, turn the book so the cover faces the mirror and you can see the book cover in the mirror.  Normally you would rotate the book about a vertical axis, THIS is when the left and right reversal takes place.  You could instead turn the book upside down.  Then the reflection of the cover WOULD be upside down, and not backwards.\n\nOther answers given:\nRefraction does not happen. Only reflection.  Refraction has to do with the bending of light when it goes from one medium (such as air) to another medium (such as water).  It has nothing to do with the question.\n\nBecause our eyes are next to each other.  Close one eye and prove to yourself that that answer is nonsense.\n\nAlthough it seems backwards its really not.  Prove this is wrong by holding a book to a mirror and trying to read it.

It is an old wive;s tail. It will bring bad luck to you in the form of illness if you have them turned out. The positioning of knife and fork when not in use acts as a sort of semaphore, allowing the diner to indicate the degree to which he intends to pause in eating. Flatware should always be placed on the plate during pauses between bites. If this is to be a very short time, there is no set pattern. For longer waits, perhaps caused by a diverting twist in the table conversation, the diner places the fork on the left and knife on the right, so that they cross over the center of the plate. The diner preparing to pass his plate for a second helping places the fork and knife parallel to each other at the right side of the plate, so that there is room for the food. When the diner has finished, he signals this by setting the fork and knife parallel to each other, so they lie either horizontally across the center of the plate or are on the diagonal, with the handles pointing to the right. The cutting edge of the knife blade should face toward the diner (again, avoiding all possible aggressive implications), and the fork may be placed with the tines either up or down.

If we view this letter "e" with the microscope at 40X, 100X, and \n\n400X, the image appears to be inverted, as happens with most compound \n\nmicroscopes. The complete letter "e" is visible at 40X and 100X, but not at 400X. \n\nThe field of view remains the same, but the image is magnified and only a portion of \n\nthe letter "e" is visible.

No, you cannot move or bend a spoon with your mind. Instead you need to realise the truth: \n\nTHERE IS NO SPOON

if they're vertical they could indicate poor general health, poor nutrient absorption, and the ridges may also indicate a kidney disorder.\n\nif they're horizontal they can indicate severe stress (both psychological or physical). Person is also more vulnerable to arthritis.

sorry I am with Marianne.\nI could answer if it was in relationship to altering the volume of liquids in gravy. That would be when my spoon can stand up in it.\nnot a science person.
