OK it's a pretty easy question but I really don't know the right answer and I don't feel like going outside and checking in the car...

"If you put a 'I Love NY' sticker in the back window of your car, when you see it in your rear view mirror, will it be correct or backwards?  Explain."

umm... idk what the answer is... any help is much appreciated.  The answer has to do with convex or concave mirrors.

Well if you're a normal person, you won't see anything since hopefully it's facing OUTSIDE, not towards your rear-view. But if for whatever reason it's facing the inside of your car, then it would be backwards.

It will appear backwards on your rearview mirror.

Why do everyone think that Gamespot is Homework Hotline..jakeboudville

because most people who are posting on gamespot are procrastinating middle school/high school students who try to do their home work while posting on gamespot...

The idea is it is facing outward but you would be able to see through the back of it, which would be backwards if viewed straight on, but in a reflection would be reversed again and therefore show not reversed.

I believe the answer is, that you would see the "I Love NY" sticker the correct way (left to right).  The reason for this is, from your perception the sticker is backwards when looking at it on the back window from your front seat.  But as the Law of Reflection (Angle of incedence equals angle of reflection) states, the backwards images will be reflected the opposite way, therefore, when you look though the rear view mirror the image will appear the correct way.  Just wondering:  Is this for school or something?
