Q: FROM MENTEE KATIE D. IN MN
Okay so when Ilook into a mirror that is for example one foot away from my face, I can see my reflection. But my question is: Am I seeing myself from one foot away or two feet? (the distance to the reflection is one foot but to see the actual reflection, you need to look another foot. So are you seeing yourself twice as far away when you look into a mirror?

What you are seeing is an exact reflect of everything from the surface of
the mirror out. So if you are a foot away from the mirror the reflection
of you is a foot away. Distances do not change in a reflection unless the
mirror says "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear" like car
side mirrors.
