Construction of a kaleidoscope is as follows:-
Take 3 rectangular mirror strips about 15 cm long and 4 cm wide each.
Join them together to form a prism
Fix them in a circular cardboard tube or tube of thick chart paper. (Make sure that the tube is slightly longer than the mirror strips)
Close one end of the tube by a cardboard disc having a hole in the center, through which you can see
To make the disc durable, paste a piece of the transparent plastic sheet under the cardboard disc.
At the other end, touching the mirrors, fix a circular plane glass plate.
Place on this glass plate several small pieces of colored glass (broken pieces of colored bangles).
Close this end of the tube by a ground glass plate. Allow enough space for the color pieces to move around.
A Kaleidoscope is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces. These reflecting surfaces are tilted at an angle, so that one or more objects at one end of the mirrors can be seen as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end of the minor. In this instrument we used the phenomena of repeated reflection.
