Light Reflection Maze

What your child will figure out

• Predict a one-mirror light path by constructing equal angles from the normal.
• Rotate a mirror until the incoming angle matches the angle from the normal to a target.
• Predict a two-bounce path by applying the same reflection law at each mirror.
• Transfer equal-angle reasoning to explain how a two-mirror periscope carries light to an eye.

The levels

1. Predict the bounce

   Predict one reflected segment before the ray is fired.

2. Aim with the rule

   Rotate one mirror until equal-angle evidence places the target on the reflected path.

3. Two-bounce forecast

   Predict the exit of a ray after two reflections.

4. Periscope transfer

   Apply equal-angle reasoning to a two-mirror periscope.
