Touch The Spring- NYSCI's Astonishing Exhibit!
Channel: New York Hall Of Science
Date: 2017-10-25

Touch the spring. Go on, touch it. You can’t? But it’s right there! I see it, you see it, everyone sees it, so why can't you touch the spring?

The spring seems too close to reality than what it actually is. The real spring however, isn’t where you think it is. It’s located directly under the image of the spring. 
The mirror before us isn’t a conventional flat mirror, rather a more curved, spherical mirror. 
Because of this, the light reflects in a way where it travels in all directions, only to gather back to a single point. This single point being where we think the spring is. This diagram shows it off best (show diagram).
 
Our REAL spring is here and the IMAGE of the spring, is where all the light rays reflect and eventually meet. However our eye can’t discern if the light originates from the reflection or from the real spring.

Now that you’ve been informed, come on down to NYSCI and witness the spring in all its glory! We also have a plethora of cool exhibits to interact with so don’t shy away.
