Why is stuff “far away” in the mirror blurry for me (im short sighted), even though the mirror is right in front of me?
In: Physics
mirrors arent screens. They are mirrors. They reflect light, they dont reproduce what they “see”. This is why you dont always see exactly what the mirror is pointed at, but you see what you look at in the mirror. It also means distance is still the same, and lasers still work, and a whole bunch of things.
If you just think of a mirror as a window to behind you, its basically right. No one asks “why is stuff blurry though a window even though the window is close”, but its basically the same question.
