  • ID Code: L3-32
  • Purpose: Demonstration of cylindrical concave and convex mirrors.
  • Description: This device contains concave and convex cylindrical mirrors as well as a plane mirror. Hold it up and look at the images. Sort of like a mirror fun house, isn't it?

    In small classes, this can be passed around to students. Challenge them to come up with ways to determine the focal length.
