Understanding Inclined Plane Mirrors
Mirror Maze at Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago)Mirror Mazes are amazing. They produce intricate optical illusions of various grandeur. Irrespective of the complex structures they produce, all the mirror mazes are based on the simple Physics of geometrical optics, i.e. the laws of reflection. Two plane mirrors, inclined to each other at some angle,…
