Reflection


A couple years ago, taking pictures of our reflections in mirrors was one of the funnest things to do. This is my friend and I at karate practice. I never realized that our reflections have something to do with physics. The image is created from light hitting off the mirror and back to my eye. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when an object is reflected to form an image of that same object. Although my image looks like it is being created inside of the mirror, it is actually the same distance I am from the mirror, but behind the mirror. Physics always pops out of no where.
