What are two properties of metals, non-metals? Metals are generally shiny, malleable, and hard. Metals are also goodconductors of electricity. Examples of metals are Gold, Silver, Iron, Uranium,and Zinc. Non-metals do not conduct heat or electricity very ell. !on"metals aretypicallybrittleandarenot easilymoldedintoshapes.

Since light from the ob&ect appears to diverge from this location, a person ho sightsalongalineatthislocationill perceiveareplicaorreproductionof theactualob&ect. In the case of plane mirrors, the image is said to be a virtual image. '(irtual images' areimages hichareformedinlocations herelight does notactually reach. )ight does not actually pass through the location on the other side ofthe mirror* it only appears to an observer as though the light ere coming from thisposition. +henever a mirror ,hether a plane mirror or otherise- creates an imagehich is virtual, it ill be located behind the mirror here light does not really pass. .esides thefact that planemirror images are'virtual', thereareseveral othercharacteristics hich are orth noting. /he second characteristic has to do ith the orientation of the image. If you vie an image of yourself in a plane mirror, you ill 0uic1ly notice that there isa left"right reversal of the image. /hat is, if you raise your left hand, you ill noticethat the image raises its right hand. /his is termed 'left"right reversal'. /hischaracteristic becomes even more obvious if you ear a shirt ith lettering. +hile there is a left"right reversal of the orientation of the image, there is no top"bottom verticalreversal. If you stand on your feet in front of a plane mirror, theimage does not stand on its head. Similarly, the ceiling does not become the floor. /heimage is said to be 'upright', as opposed to inverted. % third characteristic of plane mirror images pertains to the relationship beteen theob&ect2sdistancetothemirror andtheimage2sdistancetothemirror.3or planemirrors, the ob&ect distance ,is e0ual to the image distance. /hat is the image is the same distance behind the mirror as the ob&ect is in front ofthe mirror. If you stand a distance of 4 meters from a plane mirror, you must loo1 at alocation 4 meters behind the mirror in order to vie your image. % fourth and final characteristic of plane mirror images is that the dimensions of theimage are the same as the dimensions of the ob&ect. If a 5.6"meter tall person stands in front of a mirror, he7she ill see an image hich is5.6"meters tall. If a penny ith a diameter of 58"mm is placed in front of a planemirror, the image of the penny has a diameter of 58 mm. /he ratio of the image dimensions to the ob&ect dimensions is termed the'magnification'. 9lanemirrors produceimages hichhaveamagnificationof 5. In conclusion, plane mirrors produce images ith a number of distinguishablecharacteristics. Images formed by plane mirrors are virtual, upright, left"rightreversed, the same distance from the mirror as the ob&ect2s distance, and the samesi:e as the ob&ect.
