In the beginning of the class Mr. Manning talked about the Hershey Park field on Thursday. He answered any questions about the field trip. We didn't have a daily question today so that we can have enough time to finish The Pirate Lab. In the Pirate Lab, we learned about multiple reflections. Multiple reflections happen when two or more mirrors are used instead of just one. When the light reflects off a mirror, the image is reversed. This will become very complicated when you add another mirror. In the lab, we used the letter "R" to be reflected to the two mirrors because it is not horizontally and vertically symmetric. During the Lab, we found out that adjusting the angle between the mirrors affect how many images are created. We found that by decreasing the angle between the mirrors will increase the amount of images being reflected. The number of sections, which is the number of images plus the original object, is always one more than the number of images reflected. When the angle decreases, the number of sections increases. We used the information we obtained to predict that there will be eight reflections when the angle is at 30 degrees and nine reflections when the angle is at 20 degrees.
