You even looked at yourself in a funfair mirror. Did it make you laugh? You may look very short and fat or very tall and skinny. Funfair mirrors are curved. Curved mirrors bend light different from flat mirrors. Bent light makes the image that is reflected look different, too.
Who is that person in the mirror? It seems to be another you, doing exactly what you are doing. How can a mirror “copy” you?
A mirror is very smooth. The front of a mirror is made of flat, polished glass. Behind the glass is a thin layer of silver or some other kind of shiny material.
As you stand in front of a mirror, light bounces off you and passes through the glass. When the light hits the shiny layer behind the glass, it bounces straight back at you. This is why you can see yourself.
Your reflection is a good copy of you. But have you ever noticed that your reflection does the exact opposite of what you do? If you hold out your right hand, your reflection holds out its left hand. Each part of you makes the opposite part of your reflection in the mirror.
What do you think will happen if you print your name and hold it up to a mirror? Try it and see.
