Kaleidoscope

 

 


The Shadow Kaleidoscope is an image multiplier. It consists of two vertical mirrors connected by a hinge. The number of images on the mirrors is based on the angle at which the mirrors meet. Markers on the table indicate these angles. A plastic ball is fixed at the middle of the two mirrors to easily count the number of images made. The observer is able to move the mirrors to any desired angle. He/she can also make interesting shadow patterns when a hand is placed between the mirrors. This exhibit greatly assists in understanding the law of reflections and the concept of symmetry.

Kaleidoscope is available in the "I AM a Scientist" travelling exhibit package.
