What is an image called that appears to be inside a flat mirror?

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

wow, what a cool way of thinking!  I have wondered sometimes that when I walk up to a mirror and then walk away, where does my mirrior image go?  Does it go do something else until I summon it to the mirror again?

They are almost the same size, you are right  - the reflective image is smaller. The reason it looks bigger is because you are looking at a more or less 2-dimensional image. You have to physically look from the top to the bottom. I don't know if this is a good example, but think of a hockey goalie protecting his goal. The further out he moves, the more of the goal he covers. He looks like a giant to the shooter because he has to move his head to see from his head to his feet. \nHere's one for you - how large vertically does a mirror have to be in order to see your total reflection? It doesn't matter how far away it is?

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 ;)

Use google image search. \nHere's a nice one \nhttp://web.lemoyne.edu/~hevern/psy340/graphics/homunculus.jpg\nbut there are many others. Make sure to ask for permission, or see at the site if they support fair use.

hold it up in front of a mirror and look at the image in the mirror through the hole???  LOL.

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

The light is reflected

reflection or shadow!!

On the image. The light works exactly as it would if the object was actually behind the mirror at the distance it appears to be.

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

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.

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.

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

THe image formed by a plane mirror has \n\na) the same size\n\nb) is at the same distance from the mirror as the object\n\nC) position opposite to the object\n\nD) kind : if the object is real the image is virtual\n\nif the oject is virtual, the image is real

Virtual means not real. The image formed in the mirror is not real image.\n\nWhen the mirror is hanging in the wall behind the mirror there is wall only. But it appears as though there are objects behind the mirror. In real there is nothing except the wall.\n\nLight ray appear to come from the image. That is why they are called virtual image.\n\nOn the other hand there are real images, even though they are images.\n\nIn Cinema Theater, on the screen images are formed. These images are real images.\n\nIf the screen is moved to front or back, the images will be blurred. These images are formed only on that spot. They are real images.
