Puzzle No 8: 

Imagine you are standing in front of a mirror, facing it.Raise your left hand, then your right. Look at your refection. When you raise your left hand your reflection raises what appears to be it's right. but when you tilt your head up, your reflection does too, and doesn't appear to tilt it down. Why is it that the mirror appears to reverse left and right, but not up and down?


Solution : 

The mirror will reflect only for the X-axis and it wont to do so for the Y-axis. Hence it does not reverse for Up and Down.

I got a different answers from my students.... their thinking is so great.... :)

The Mirror takes the exact image of human and reflects it as a xerox machine does. It takes the action in the way it is straight to it. The mirror just takes our place so the image is considered to be taken from our behind.
