Question

Why is your face upside down in the inward curve of the spoon?

• A. It is a property of all metals
• B. It behaves as concave mirror
• C. It happens only when there is moisture on the spoon
• D. It behaves as a convex mirror

Answer 1

The correct option is B

It behaves as concave mirror

The inner surface of a spoon acts as a concave mirror and the outer surface of the spoon acts as a convex mirror. When you see yourself in a spoon which is like a concave mirror, the light rays from your face fall on the top of the spoon and get reflected downwards. Real images produced by concave mirrors are always inverted.
