Instagram and TikTok users have recently been trying to understand a certain optical illusion. Although it seems to be one of the unexplained mysteries of the universe, it is based on very simple assumptions. How does it work?
Put the object on the piece of paper and then put it on the mirror. What you see may surprise you
Many users of social platforms cannot understand the latest trend. It consists in placing any object against the mirror. Place a sheet of paper between the glass surface and the chosen item to cover it completely. However, no matter how big a piece of paper we use, we will still see the “hidden” object in the reflection. – How does the mirror know that? – asked one of the people taking part in the challenge. The answer is surprisingly simple. Everything is explained by the principles of physics. One of the users informed about their operation in the comments below the post.
“The new generation has been defeated by the basic principles of physics.” Why is an object hidden behind a piece of paper reflected in the mirror?
In the comments under the post with an unusual optic, we can find many mocking opinions.
Why do I see that the new generation has been defeated by the basic principles of physics?
The answer is simple. The mirror saw the object before they hid it behind the sheet.
The answer is: do not miss school lessons
However, one of the users decided to explain how this “phenomenon” works. An object that has been hidden behind a piece of paper is visible in the mirror because both it and the glass surface reflect light. The sheet blocks them from the front, but looking at the object from the right angle, we are able to see it in the reflection without any major problems.
When we look at the reflection closer to the parallel angle of inclination to the mirror, the sheet is not an obstacle. The light is then reflected from the surface that is not covered by the sheet.
