Re: Double concave mirror toy



Tell us more about this. The real image of what? How
was that image produced? The real image where (or on
what)? Was the reflected beam only a tiny fraction of
the incident beam or was it a big fraction? How was
the incident laser beam directed with respect to rays
making the real image? How was the reflected beam
directed? What happens when the real image becomes
fuzzy? Does the reflected beam disappear when the
light producing the real image is turned off?

Just did this! How cool. Took most everyone in the department by surprise.

Try shining a laser pointer on the real image. Ask students why something
you can't touch seems to reflect light.
