The Science of Light: Funhouse mirrors

We're used to regular mirrors - flat mirrors, mounted on a vertical surface. But when they're tilted, or better yet, curved - mirrors can show us things we might not expect!

Multiple images

A picture, that you can manipulate, of two hinged mirrors and a pencil. You can alter the angles of the mirrors and observe the number of images. A simple and fun activity, but I'd rather use a real ...

The Mystery of Antimatter

Look at yourself in the mirror: what if the guy just in front of you, the one in the mirror, really existed? Physicists have already been thinking about this question, they would call that person an ...

Mirror and Image

The position of the cursor gives a source of light rays. These then reflect in a plane mirror and show the apparent image position. The image of a mask can be explored in this way
