Investigation (AFL): How Does the Angle of Mirrors Affect the
Number of Images Viewed?
When you look in a mirror you see a reflection of your image. A
kaleidoscope uses a number of mirrors at different angle to produce
more than one image.
Task:
To draw a line graph of your
results and identify the pattern
