¿Por qué un espejo cambia izquierda por derecha pero no arriba por abajo?

The video explores the concept of mirror reflections, explaining why mirrors swap left and right but not up and down. It delves into how our brains perceive mirror images as real and discusses the directionality of reflections. The video also covers how mirrors transform images and the order of appearance, particularly in text reflection. Finally, it introduces parity transformations in physics, highlighting their relevance in quantum mechanics.

Why do mirrors appear to swap left and right but not up and down?

• Because we interpret the reflection as another person.

• Because mirrors are designed to swap left and right.

• Because mirrors actually swap up and down.

• Because our eyes are placed horizontally.

How can we define the right hand to better understand mirror reflections?

• By the hand that is on the right side.

• By the hand that is stronger.

• By the hand that has a circle on the palm.

• By the hand that is used for writing.

What does a mirror do with the orientation of objects?

• It swaps left with right.

• It swaps up with down.

• It maintains the east-west orientation.

• It changes the color of objects.

How does a mirror transform the order of objects?

• It reverses the order from front to back.

• It changes the order randomly.

• It only changes the order of text.

• It keeps the order the same.

What happens to text when viewed in a mirror?

• It changes color.

• It becomes readable.

• It remains the same.

• It becomes illegible.

What is a parity transformation in physics?

• A transformation that inverts objects from inside out.

• A transformation that makes objects disappear.

• A transformation that swaps left and right.

• A transformation that changes the color of objects.

How is the concept of parity transformations useful?

• In understanding basic physics.

• In quantum mechanics and particle physics.

• In designing mirrors.

• In everyday life applications.
