Parallel Mirror Box

When posed with a question in class, in addition to providing students with verbal and written answers, we set up experiments such that students can experience for themselves, thus understanding the concepts better. Here our Secondary 4 Physics class has been taught the concept of mirrors and its reflection.
Left: Lianne is looking at a set of parallel mirrors. When 2 mirrors are placed parallel facing each other, they create and infinite images of each other
Look Inside the Box
Place your mouse over the image...

Above: The students look at a box composed of lights and mirrors. Although the box is only 2 inches in depth, what they see inside the box seems to stretch to infinity. Some students are baffled by the concept that they take an upclose and personal look at it.
This is an image of the Infinity Light Mirror. Infinity mirrors creates the illusion of a tunnel of lights going off into infinity. Also, the actual glass mirror creates a precise image and can be used as a traditional mirror.
