mirror reflections

[tamborine]

How do you get a mirror to reflect a multi image.

[ChuckFickens]

Eh?

You'll need to explain a bit more.

Aspel on AR stodd beside a mirror in historic building & the mirror reflected a multi rear view of him. Am puzzled how that's done ?

2 mirrors dont give 10 or more reflections.....that's what I'm after.

[ummmm]

Yes they do....

[ELVIS68]

2 mirrors angled right will produce 250 reflected multi images based on the mathematics that 1a x 1b = X x 250 depending on the angle of both mirrors

Not rocket science is it?

[tamborine]

as a mathematical equasion it is Elvis.....just '2 mirrors held at an angle' would suffice as an answer - just tried it......but dont have a chandelier :)

In my hall I have mirrors facing each other on opposite walls. Stand between them and you see images of yourself stretching to infinity in both directions.

Set up two mirrors at right-angles and stand on the diagonal line from the join and you see yourself the right way round, as others see you, not reversed right-to-left as in a single mirror. Apparently Rabbie Burns didn't know this.

If you place the two mirrors opposite each other, but at small angle, say 2 or 3 degrees in relation to each other, you'll see many reflections curving away into the distance.

The link I posted, there's an interactive java tutorial. Let it load for a couple of seconds and you'll be able to experiment with different angles.
