Why Am I Upside-Down When I Look in a Spoon?

The video explores why reflections in a spoon appear upside down. It explains that the phenomenon is due to the physics of light and reflection. When light photons hit a concave surface like the inside of a spoon, they deflect at angles that cause the image to flip. Conversely, a convex surface like the back of a spoon stretches the image without flipping it. The video uses the analogy of throwing a ball at a wall to illustrate how light behaves on different surfaces, emphasizing the role of focal points in image formation.

What happens to your reflection when you look at the inside of a spoon?

Explain why flipping a spoon changes your reflection.

How do photons contribute to the way we see our reflection in a mirror?

What is the focal point in relation to a concave surface like a spoon?

Describe the difference between the reflections seen in the back and front of a spoon.
