Quick Answer: The Infinity Mirror Model shows light reflecting back and forth between reflective surfaces, so that the repeated images form what looks like a tunnel running beyond the depth of the apparatus.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Demonstrates repeated reflection between reflective surfaces
Produces an apparent tunnel of images with extended optical depth
Supports lessons on image formation and mirror systems
Prompts discussion of why repeated images appear
About This Product
Students watch the tunnel effect and are asked to explain it, which leads into how reflective surfaces form one image after another. The model supports lessons on reflection of light, apparent optical depth and mirror-based illusions, and can be used alongside the Light and Optics Demo Kit, Funny Mirror and Periscope.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What makes the tunnel effect? Each time light reflects between the reflective surfaces, another image is formed. The series of reflected images appears to recede, creating a tunnel that seems deeper than the apparatus itself.
