In this video I show you what it looks like when you reflect a true mirror (non-reversing mirror) in a regular mirror. I talk about if the reflection truly does go on infinitely. If so what is the area of the reflected images. Is it infinite as well?

The reflected light reduces each reflection and is passing more and more imperfections in the glass so eventually the image would be hazy Distorted and dim and you’d have aberrations. So the equations don’t really account for this and it won’t be truly infinite eventually no useful information is transmitted. So the infinite length is more of a theoretical infinite.

@@cryptfire3158 That's the reason it is so weird. But you can get an idea of why this is possible: Imagine slicing the horn up. Each slice has an area of πr² and a circumference of 2πr. So if r becomes smaller as you progress through the horn, the area of the slices becomes smaller more quickly than the circumference. It then happens to be that the circumference decreases just slow enough that it goes to infinity.
@huawafabe
@huawafabe 4 года назад
@@vinlebo88 it's pretty unintuitive, the easiest way is to look at it mathematically like he did. Areas that stretch out into infinity but converge csn often be finite. For example, the energy required to leave earth's gravity field is the area under a graph with that is a/r² (a is a constant). The graph never reaches zero, but the area is finite. Another example that I already mentioned in my original post: if you measure the length of an island's coastline, you mathematically get to infinity if you measure totally exact (go around every tiny stone, or even every atom etc). So the 1 dimensional thing is infinite. But the area inside this infinitely long coastline is finite and has a limit 😊

I think it is rare for education videos to fill both of those roles well. Usually, they are either a bit simple and childish or they are very in-depth and complex.

When I was a kid I scratched off a tiny bit of the silver coating in the middle of a mirror so that I could see through it, but it wasn't obvious from the other side. Then I put it opposite another mirror, and was able to look through the middle of the mirror rather than around the side of it, which usually makes the 'tunnel' curve off to the side and out of view. You can see a lot further, but as you'd expect the image becomes more blurry and darker with each reflection until you can't make out any more reflections. It also becomes more green with each reflection as glass is slightly green in colour, as you can see if you look at the edge of a sheet of glass.

I remember having a problem with Gabriel's Horn back in high school... The math works out, but the "paint" analogy isn't intuitive... If you "fill" the Horn, you would coat the inside, which is the same as "painting" the outside (which has to have the same area as the outside because it has no thickness). The analogy is difficult because we are mixing real things like paint with theoretical things like surfaces and infinity.
@brainisfullofnonsense8183
@brainisfullofnonsense8183 3 года назад
I can appreciate the calculus involved, but what you didn't use to limit the series to keep it from continuing to infinity is the idea of a smallest possible reflection. I pose that this limitation would be reached when a single photon is bounced, since a single photon is the smallest unit of light. It would not preserve any physical resemblence to the image because it would be akin to reducing a photograph to a single pixel, and we wouldn't even be able to say with any kind of certainty what wavelength that quanta would be traveling at because of scattering and such. But I digress. Placing that single limitation removes the latter portions of the series that could yeild and infinite result. Great video and I really like the images of reflecting a true mirror onto itself. Notice how the reflections get darker as more reflections are reflected. You can see the opposite happen when aiming a camera at a monitor displaying an image from the camera. It gets brighter. I wonder if you could balance the lightening and the darkening effects by aiming a camera at a mirror reflecting the image of the monitor which is displaying the output from the camera....or maybe that's when we break the universe and the ending credits start to play.

@DramaticPaws

Wiki has the answer. The painters paradox is resolved by realizing a finite volume of paint can coat in infinite surface by decreasing the thickness of the coat of paint by an increasing rate as the surface is painted. The series would look similar to the series he showed for the surface area of the horn.

@stevecollins2770
@stevecollins2770 4 года назад
It should be noted that this applies only if the mirrors reflect 100% of the light. The best mirrors are silver and they only reflect about 95% of the light. Thus, each image is about 5% dimmer than the previous one, and the images become undetectably dim after a fairly small number of reflections.

Late Stephen Hawking was a genius exactly because he could explain anything even to a biggest mathematical imbecile (like me). This guy also gets it. Problem with regular education at majority of schools is, they just tell you to memorize some definitions and formulas, but they won't give you much explanations, which are simple enough to be understood by anyone (like some real-life examples of given phenomenon or possible practical applications). It's one of my favorite channels as of now, waiting for new content!

@albertornstein883
@albertornstein883 3 года назад
Correct me if Im wrong, but I think the argument used to prove that the images dont go forever is flawed. A point is made that an infinite set does not contain infinite elements because the sum of them converges, which really has nothing to do with the number of elements; which is by definition infinite. In other words, it is already being said that the sum has infinite summands, and the summands are the number of areas, so there ARE an infinite number of areas, it just so happens that the sum of them converges to a finite value, because the area decreases quadratically instead of linearly as the length does.

Last scene with laser is like playing with fire, reason is if you redirect laser light into the laser that produce it the laser might be destroyed by itself. It is occurring mostly in semiconductor types and those on solid state types, gaseous I believe are more resistant.

The area would become to small to sustain photons so no the image stops at a certain point but the division goes on for infinity.

Needed to be added that mirrors don't reflect 100% of the light. So all those reflection loses will "eat away" the light that is reflected numerous times. That's why the farthest reflections in series look darker. So, at some point in that series, all the light photons will be absorbed. Totally, because at some point there can not be 1/2 of a photon left for example. The reflections won't go to infinity. I think that "quantum reasoning" will make the length not diverge. At some point, the smallest width length stops at wave length of the reflected light, so it's a finite series.

I'd say its not going on forever. The mirror absorbes a small percentage of the reflected light. That's why the created mirror tunnel looks kinda faded in the distance. Let's just say after each reflection it absorbed 1 percent of light. Then we got max 100 reflections.

Actually, at the 100th reflection you'd still have around 36.6% of the light since each reflection will only absorb the light by 1% of its previous reflection. At 99% efficiency, it'd take around 450 reflections to get to 1% just from the reflection alone.

I would argue it doesn't go to infinity, as at some points the last photon will be absorbed by the mirror surface or scattered somewhere

I believe its still infinite. .just like if you look down a tunnel in gets smaller but if you zoom in its big again..you should try that next experiment

Assuming absolutely perfect reflection. (You have to, otherwise the light would lose energy and the reflections grow dimmer until you can no longer see them.) Im pretty sure the mathematics behind that is reliant on it being continuous, which light isnt. Its in quanta.

Would this also be so if it were a true mirror into a second true mirror rather than a "regular" mirror?

When people ask "does the reflections goes forever" they don't care about total length or area of reflections. They care just about pure number of reflection! I mean will the reflections stop after 100? Probably not. After 1000? You definitely won't see that many reflections, because they are going to be to tiny, but they are still there! So... is this a limit of reflections when put this way?

Where so you get a true mirror? Great video with a lot of information.
@seamus9305
@seamus9305 3 года назад
The answer is no because at every reflection the mirror does not perfectly reflect all the photons. Some pass through the mirror. You can see the fade as you look into the distant reflections. The fade is not all from distance, some of it is from photon loss. In other words no mirror reflects 100% so the loss of all light happens at a particular distance. Would be interesting to involve a telescope.

You never showed a true mirror reflected into another true mirror...unless I missed it. I saw the standard mirror reflected into a true mirror though.

That only works on a theoretical sense, in reality the width is finite because you can only go as far as an eletron can reflect from. I mean the universe is granular and not continuous so that "infinite" small area will stop at something like the plank's lengh. Or will it? (correct me if i am wrong please).
