Viral Towel and Mirror Experiment Explains Physics in a Simple Way

A simple mirror and towel experiment recently went viral on social media, showcasing a fascinating demonstration of the laws of physics. The experiment, which involves covering a mirror with a towel, demonstrates that the angle of incidence of light is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that while the person covering the mirror cannot see their reflection due to the blocked light path, an observer from the side can still see the reflection. Luiza Tenente, the presenter in the video, explains: "The light reflects in different directions, and according to the Law of Reflection, the angle of incidence of the light is equal to the angle of exit." This simple yet effective experiment has captured the attention of thousands, highlighting the power of visual learning and the enduring fascination with science. The experiment's widespread appeal underscores the potential for using engaging visuals to make complex scientific principles accessible to a broader audience.
