Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Curved or shaped reflective surface produces distorted images.
Images can appear stretched, compressed, widened, narrowed, enlarged or reduced.

About This Product
Installed on a stable wall, stand or display surface, the mirror lets students stand at a safe distance and watch how their reflected image changes shape, size and proportion. Moving closer or farther shows further changes. Teachers use this to explain how curved surfaces redirect light differently from a plane mirror, covering image formation, magnification and reduction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What changes when a student moves closer or farther away? The reflected image changes shape, size and proportion. Comparing these changes helps explain how curved surfaces redirect light differently from a plane mirror.
