Infinite MirrorsScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
You have two rectangular mirrors exactly the same size, on opposite walls of a corridor. Let's say they are perfectly flat, and in parallel. If you look into one, and see the reflection in the other, are you looking into a reflection of infinite length?
AnswerNo, Your eyes are at the point where the reflection would appear infinite. No matter where you position yourself, the reflection of the two mirrors that you see will always be at an angle.
