In mirror reflections the reflected light will always be slightly less intense than the incident light. The intensity of the reflected light depends on the refraction indexes n1 and n2 in the two media (air and glass, for example). Light falling normally on the surface obeys the following relation for the ratio, R, between the intensity Ir of the reflected light and the intensity Io of the incident light: R ¼ Ir =Io ¼ ðn2 À n1 Þ2 =ðn2 þ n1 Þ2 From this expression we find that, at the border between air and glass (n ¼ 1:5; for example in spectacles), 4 percent of the intensity is lost at each surface reflection and about 8 percent is reflected in total.
It is, like a broken spoon in a tea-cup, explained by the refraction of light at the transition from water to air. Mirror images of people who look at themselves in convex and concave mirrors give rise to much amusement, and may also be called optical illusions. The same applies to stroboscopic movement, where movement is suggested by a row of small lights that are turned on and off in rapid succession. Other distortions are better hidden, or we have become so used to them that they are difficult to detect, such as the enhancement of lightness differences.
These lines, which excite different groups of cells, must be joined together before we can perceive the figure as a triangle. e. for our understanding of a visual image. Properties such as contrast, orientation and direction may be regarded as autonomous elements in the perception of an object. These are among the primitive properties that must be integrated to form a unitary perception. Other more composite and complex properties may be dealt with in separate, dedicated locations in the brain. When attributes such as form, color and movement are joined together in the perception of an object, for example in a yellow car that drives by, this requires the combined activity of several cortical modules.
