NARRATIVE
This demonstration
shows that the image in a plane mirror is upright and appears to be the same distance
behind the mirror as the object is in front. Place the two candles on opposite sides of
the mirror on a turntable. Align them so that they seem to be one and the same when viewed
from the front of the mirror. Remove the rear candle to show that is seemed to occupy the
same space as the image.
