How It Is Used
A small object is placed between the mirrors and the angle is set on the scale. Students count the images, then change the angle, for example to 30°, 60° and 90°, and record how the number of images changes to find the pattern behind multiple reflection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Angle Between Mirrors model demonstrate?
How the number of images of an object placed between two plane mirrors changes as the angle between the mirrors is altered.
How is the angle between the mirrors set?
The mirrors sit on an adjustable base with an angle scale, so the angle can be set and read directly before counting images.
