Do you know?
Kaleidoscopes usually consist of 2 to 3 mirrors and their
cross-sections are mostly in the form of equilateral triangles.
They are capable of creating stunning visual effects by
producing repetitive yet non-overlapping images. Similar
effects can also be achieved likewise by using squares,
rectangles and hexagons. Other shapes such as the pentagons
are not used because they are not able to produce entirely
repeating patterns. |
