That is super awesomeness!

Hello Samuel, two light holders are used, one is directly upside down under the one that sits on top of the box. They are wired together so that they both will light up a bulb when there is a bulb in the socket, WHen you push the button both bulbs light up, remove the top bulb , push the button and only the bulb underneath will light up. Once again the bulb is directly underneath the one that sits upright. When an object is placed in front of the concave mirror, it will reflect the image so that you see it upside down, or an object that is held upside down will appear right side up.. So when looking through the eyepiece, you see the reflected image of the bulb from underneath flipped right side up in the same spot as where the top bulb should be. Hope this makes sense. Bruce

+Aakanksh banal Hello Aakanksh, According the the Exploratorium, which is probably the finest science museum in the world, this is a real image. When an object is placed at the center of curvature of a concave mirror, the result is  the formation of a real, inverted image which will be positioned at the same location and of the same size as the object.    Two additional examples:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVpSCICCD9Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zccy2zVlaJA

+Bruce Yeany (Yeany Science) and I thought that that had something to do with your experiment

+Bruce Yeany (Yeany Science) oh, the reason I m asking is because I just started to learn optics and I have trouble understandig what is "the image of and object". I have excercises and methods to calculate this image, where it is, if it s positive or negative, if it s upsode down, but I can t really seem to understand what it really is that I m calculating

+Alexik09 Hello Alex, I built this about 25 years ago so I don't remember the details but I didn't make any measurements when I built this, it was done through trial and error. The placement of the eyepiece does not have to be a precise distance, I have a couple of these and they are not the same, the location of the eyepiece can be set back further and still get the same affect.
