Description
What a great illusion!
The 3D infinity illusion mirror effect is produced by having two sets of mirrors facing each other. The light coming from the side LEDs is then able to bounce back forth over and over again from the side of the mirrors towards the center of the mirror. Each bounce sends some light out towards the viewer such that each reflection reduces the brightness of the image and so you see the illusion fade as the energy is reduced.
Teaching ideas for the infinity mirror
- Can you create a diagram of how the light travels between the mirrors?
- Learn about the difference between light reflection vs refraction.

I just wanted to pass on how much the staff and students really enjoyed it and how perfect it was to launch our science week activities. The students were enthralled, educated and entertained – a perfect trifecta!
-Caulfield Grammar School – Big Science Big FunThanks so much for presenting at our school on Monday. Our students enjoyed the show.
-Greenvale Primary School – Big Science Big FunFizzics Education curated a thoughtful and hands-on experience for the children, incorporating practical, skill-based learning activities and followed by a science presentation at the end of the event involving liquid nitrogen. This was delivered safely and effectively, capturing both the children and the parents for the duration of the presentation.
-Macquarie Bank – Family Fun DayFizzics Education ran a show today at our school and it was wonderful. He was a great facilitator and the show was age appropriate and well done.
