THE PRODUCT IN MOTION

See it work.

Curved reflecting surfaces change the directions in which light returns to the observer. The apparent shape depends on the mirror curvature and the viewing position.

Video & text guide

THE ACTIVITY & MECHANISM

See your reflection change shape.

Stand in front of a curved mirror and compare your reflection as you move closer or farther away. Curvature changes the direction of reflected light, so different parts of the image can appear stretched or compressed. Compare more than one mirror to separate the effect of its shape from the effect of your position.

  1. 01

    Stand in front of a mirror

    Look at your whole reflection in one mirror.

  2. 02

    Move closer or farther away

    Take a small step towards or away from it and follow one reflected feature.

  3. 03

    Compare the reflected proportions

    Compare the same feature in another mirror and describe the difference.
