Why Don't Mirrors Facing Each Other Produce Infinite Reflections?
Mirror Facing Each Other
💡 The Answer
- Mirrors facing each other do not create infinite reflections.
- Each reflection is slightly darker than the previous one.
- Mirrors absorb a fraction of the light energy with every bounce.
- After a few hundred reflections the light fades into invisibility.
