Thus, the large the slice, the lesser the reflections and smaller the slice, the greater the reflections and so on.Īlthough the image, even in a simple kaleidoscope, is way more beautiful than toppings on a pizza. Thus, the final image consists of eight reflections of this slice. We know that pizza, like a complete circle, is \(\). You will be able to see almost the entire pizza recreated by the multiple reflections of the single slice occurring side by side. Now, place the slice of pizza within two mirrors placed adjacent to each other at an angle.
To understand what happens in a kaleidoscope, think of a Pizza each slice of the pizza represents the object put within the vee-shape or the triangular area at the end of the tube. But at a given time, we only see the objects that fall within the triangle space of the object holder. The container which contains these colourful objects can be as large as the kaleidoscope tube and at times even larger than that. A set of colourful objects is placed at one end of the mirrors, and at the opposite end, there is an eyehole to allow viewing.Īn amazing fact about a kaleidoscope is that what you look at once, the exact same pattern will never be formed again. it appears like a spyglass) defines the body adjoining the mirror assembly. Even at its basic level, a kaleidoscope consists of two or more mirrors or reflective surfaces inclined at an angle with respect to each other such that they form a triangle or a V-shape.
