Study Notes
Mirror Images: Image Orientation
What is a Mirror Image?
- A mirror image is a virtual image that appears to be behind a mirror or a reflective surface
- It is a reversed and flipped replica of the original object or image
Types of Mirror Images
- Horizontal Mirror Image: The image is flipped horizontally, left becomes right and right becomes left
- Vertical Mirror Image: The image is flipped vertically, up becomes down and down becomes up
- Both Horizontal and Vertical Mirror Image: The image is flipped both horizontally and vertically
Properties of Mirror Images
- Reversal: The mirror image is reversed, meaning that the left and right sides are swapped
- Flipping: The mirror image is flipped, resulting in a change in orientation
- No Change in Size: The size of the mirror image remains the same as the original image
Real-Life Applications
- Optics: Mirrors are used in optics to redirect light and create images
- Art: Mirror images are used in art to create symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing compositions
- Photography: Mirror images are used in photography to create unique and creative effects
