Blog 14-Reflections

While we were waiting to perform in Advance Theater's Shakespeare Festival, my friends and I were taking pictures to help the time pass more quickly. In the photo above, several different physics concepts are pictured.  
The first is electricity.  The lights behind us are in parallel circuit. Some of the bulbs are out (probably the filament burnt out), but the rest of the lights are still able to be turned on.  
The second concept is reflection.  The mirror behind us reflects all the light from the objects in front of it.  From this angle, the photographer is visible in the reflection because her object's (i.e. her body) incidence angle is visible in the reflected angle.
The virtual images are of an equal distance from the mirror as the actual objects.
