MIRAGE QUIZ/BLOG

So basically, the mirage device is basically made of two concave mirrors with each other's focal points in the center of the other mirror. So if an object, like a strawberry for example, is placed in the center of the bottom concave mirror(which is the focus), light rays bouncing off the strawberry will hit the top concave mirror and then bounce off parallel to the axis. These parallel light rays then bounce off the bottom mirror, and when parallel rays bounce off a concave mirror they all intersect at the focal point, which is at the top of the mirage device. Therefore this device produces a "mirage" at the top due to the use of physics, mirrors, and focal points. What goal does this accomplish? You can trick your friends out by putting money inside the mirage device and leaving it on a table.
