When u look at yourself in a spoon why are you the right way up in one side and upside down in the other?

Question

Urgent answer please!! when one is contemplating oneself in a desert spooen why is ones head upside down on the concave side? hmmm? I need to know asap so pls answer!

Answer 1

There is no spoon. When you contemplate yourself, your head IS upside down.

Answer 2

easy. Just draw your profile. And in front of it, first draw the convex side of the spoon. Then draw two, three if you want, horizontal lines going from your face to the spoon, they are light. Remember that light on the mirrored surface of the spoon will reflect with the exit angle equal to the entry angle but on the other side of the right angle. You'll see that the reflected beams spread, and don't cross at all. So you see yourself with the right orientation because the light beams don't cross each other.

Now do the same with the concave side. You'll see that the beams cross each other, the one from your forehead ending somewhere around your chin, and vice-versa. As a result you see yourself inverted.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

When you look at yourself in the bowl of a spoon , the spoon bowl is acting like a concave lens. Large telescopes use mirrors as lenses because of the weight of glass lenses. A lens reverses left and right and up and down.You are looking at an image. The bowl is not perfectly round so you do not get a perfect image.

Answer 4

Because a concave reflective surface reverses images
