2. Kaleidoscope
In Kaleidoscope, mirrors are used to create pictures having various lines of symmetry. Two mirrors strips
forming a V-shape are used. The angle between the mirrors determines the number of lines of symmetry.

Example

Which alphabet will remain same after reflection symmetry? Check for R, C, N, A and T.
Solution

In the alphabet reflection symmetry, the alphabets look opposite in the mirror i.e. the alphabet written from
right to left will appear as written from left to right.

Hence C, N and R will not look the same after reflection.

Hence A and T will look same after reflection symmetry.
