The question is asking about the relationship between the distance of the mirror from your face and the amount of your face you can see in the mirror. Let's break it down and explain step by step.
1. Holding the mirror almost at arm's length from your face: In this situation, you are holding the mirror at a certain distance away from your face. This distance is typically referred to as the "initial distance."
2. Noting how much of your face you can see: When you look at the mirror, you can observe a portion of your face reflected in it. The question is asking you to take note of the amount or extent of your face that you can see at this initial distance.
3. To see more of your face: The next part of the question asks what you would need to do in order to see more of your face in the mirror. There are two possible options mentioned:
- Holding the mirror closer: This refers to bringing the mirror closer to your face, reducing the distance between the mirror and your face.
- Holding the mirror farther away: This means increasing the distance between the mirror and your face, moving it away from you.
4. Result of trying different situations: In your case, you mentioned that you tried holding the mirror closer, holding it farther away, and even using a larger mirror, but you were still able to see your face in all situations.
Based on your explanation, it seems that you should be able to see your face regardless of the change in distance or mirror size. This might be due to the properties of the mirror you are using, such as its reflectivity or curvature. In a typical situation, however, if you hold the mirror closer to your face, your field of view might increase, allowing you to see more of your face. Holding the mirror farther away or using a larger mirror can sometimes have the same effect.
Remember, when experimenting and testing different scenarios, the results may vary based on the specific mirror and other factors.
