Discuss your experience when standing in front of different types of mirrors in a fun house or even in a clothing store. Why do you look taller or shorter, narrower or wider, or distorted in other ways in these mirrors? Maybe you’ve even seen more than one of yourself in a set of mirrors. Describe your experience. Are these trick mirrors or applications of physics? Explain your answer.

Question

anonymous · Answer

I've once been in a bathroom with two mirrors in total two of the walls (they were across from each other) had two different mirrors. One of the mirrors made me look wider than I was. The other made me look narrower. These were really applications of physics, for the way they were shaped/angled affected how something in the mirror looks from how it normally looks in real life.
