23. How is the phenomenon of reflection used in making a kaleidoscope ? What are the applications of a kaleidoscope ?
Ans: In a kaleidoscope, three plane mirrors inclined at an angle of 60° to each other are joined together, and fixed in a tube. This operates on the principle of multiple reflections and used to find colourful patterns.
Applications of a kaleidoscope are as follows :-
