“It's All Smoke and Mirrors: The Physics of Images”
 

The behavior of mirrors and magnifying glasses will be demonstrated with some of the Physics Demonstration Lab’s best eye candy.

The how and why of image formation will be pursued with phantom light bulbs, levitating lecturers, a trip through the looking glass; and yes, even a smoke machine.
