Mirrors help us see things better, but they work in different ways. Some mirrors make things bigger, like the ones on a car's side. Others help you look at yourself from far away, like the mirror in a hallway. Mirrors are like magic windows that change how light bounces back to our eyes.
Examples
- A convex mirror on a car helps you see more of the road behind you.
- The mirror at the funhouse makes your face look stretched or squished.
- A flat mirror lets you brush your teeth while looking at yourself.
