You said the rays have to be the same distance apart from the mirror, but when I measured the two green lines that were perpendicular to the mirror, one was shorter than the other. Is this supposed to hapoen? Because I often find it happens to my diagrams as well and I'm a bit confused about that.
It's not meant to happen, but it does due to slight inaccuracies of measurement and pen/ruler work. Very rarely does anyone actually do these perfectly, but it can be done with a little bit of care.
Same process. Start with the top point, and then the other point nearest the mirror. Bear in mind, the other point will be hidden from the view of the mirror, but based on the other two points, you can still complete the triangle.
Thanks for the interesting question. The weird thing is, lateral inversion isn't actually what's going on. It's actually a front to back inversion. Light can only travel in straight lines and the mirror is exposed to the front part of your body and reflects it backwards. It's a coordinate inversion. Another way to think of it: When you drive a car and check the rear view, the drivers remain in the same seat.
@@keeratghuman9041 It's just a light ray. You can draw them at any angle. Remember, angle of incidence = angle of reflection (on the mirror), so if the light ray is hitting the mirror at 0 degrees, then it also reflects at zero degrees. The ray is then extended behind the mirror.
I’m planning to. I moved into an apartment where it’s impractical to make videos with the way the wife has laid things out! I’ll try and find a workaround, or I might start making videos at school - which also has its own issues. Thanks for watching :)
It's ok. If I can give one piece of life advice, I'd say go with flow and leave a little bit of time to do something you really enjoy. It seems to be stating the obvious, but you'll be surprised how many people end up not doing this and resent their life as a result.
@@francoisdionrodriguez901 Are you referring to the angle of incidence and angle of reflection? If so, yes, that's totally fine. You can have any angle up to 90°.
I started teaching younger kids, where it didn't lend itself well to this type of video where I solve problems. I'm not sure what grade level I'll be teaching in September, but hopefully I'll make more videos soon.
I'm not Indian, I'm Bengali, so I can't speak Hindi! Even with the Bangla, I speak the Syhleti dialect which is different from the standard Shuddo Basha.
