If you look in the mirror, you see a reverse image, what would you see if your eyes were one above the other?

Answer 1

No change.

When you see your reflection, you see your head at the top, feet at the bottom, right at the right , left at the left. The only reason this looks strange is that you are used to seeing other people with the left on the right and the right on the left. That's because they are facing the opposite way. It's a rotation, not a reflection.

Answer 2

I dont exaticly know what you wanting so ill just give you any way i could make out of it...

the reverse meckanism would still work in the same way.

Looks:
1) your mouth or brain would be smaller to acomadate for differnt space usage.
2) I dont even want to know what would the part of the head that was the eye socket would be used for then...

sight differnces:
1) you would be able to see more up/down and less left/right.
2) If you looked at some thing that your eyes arent focused on the image would be doubled one on top of the other, rather than next to each other.


there are 2 differnt posablities depending on if the brain works like ours:

If the brain didnt over lap the images from the 2 eyes, you would see the bottom/top of what you see twice.

if the brain does over lap the images the only differnce is you would see is more up/down and less of left and right.

since this is the biology section, i went over the biological implications

Answer 3

you would see the same, reversed image. The light reversal is in the mirror, not the fact eyes are side to side or left to right.
Close one eye, and see...an earing in one ear, will still appear in the "wrong" ear in the mirror, with either eye shut.
Photographers, when printing a "negative" can delibaretly place it in the enlarger (printer) the "wrong" way, so left and right are reversed. In a portrait, of just a face, this is undetectable (except for different earings, or a side parting) But, apparently, women (rather than men) Prefer this, As it is what THEY see in a mirror, rather than the true left/right people see of them, and more likely to like the print, and buy!
If you want a facial/body piercing, and want to know how it looks...dont look in the mirror, holding a piercing ring. I had a nip done (Im a bloke) and seeing a digital picture of me, it looks different to what i "saw", as it was the wrong way round in the mirror.
Make the most of trips to the barber. Its so rarely you get to see the back of your own head!

Answer 4

hi_patia and m.paley are entirely correct. Mirrors do not reverse left and right.

If you just hold up a book to a mirror it does not reverse the print. If YOU reverse the book so that you turn the print away from you to face the mirror, then left and right are reversed because YOU turned the book around. The mirror faithfully reflects this, left to left and right to right, without change. So it has nothing to do with eyes or angles.

Answer 5

Try it. Nothing special will happen.
Close one eye and still nothing will happen.
Mirrors do not reverse left and right, they reverse looking forward and looking backward. It is incredibly hard to explain but the apparent left/right flipping is all in your head. If you look into a mirror you see someone looking back at you and mentally you picture someone just behind the mirror who has been spun around to face the opposite direction. It is this assumption of a spin that causes the problem, there is no spin. Light goes into the mirror and comes directly back. If you try an interpret this as a view that has been spun then you get left/right oddities. If you think of light just bouncing back then there is no left/right issue.
It really is hard to explain, just look into a mirror and think of light going into the mirror then back again and everything will make sense. If you visualise the scene as someone behind the mirror then you get left-right flipping.

Answer 6

the reverse image of a man with the eyes one above the others

Answer 7

You would still see a reverse image. its the mirror reversing the image not your eyes

Answer 8

Try lying down on your side and you will see it makes no difference. It is nothing to do with your eyes beings side by side or one above the other.

Your image is reversed, it is not just the left to right part but also the top to bottom.

Answer 9

The image would look the same. To get the image to go upside down, either stand on the mirror or stand under it and look up.

Answer 10

Your reflection. I can understand what you are saying, for example: If you tapped your right cheek, your reflection would tap "its" left cheek or so it would seem, but according to your question it wouldn't matter where your eyes where, when looking at a mirror. All you would see is yourself, the way you are, staring right back at you. In a mirror, your "top" eye would still be your top eye, and your "bottom" eye would still be your bottom eye.
