Not only reflections at flat objects can be described using
linear algebra. The bending of light in lenses and the reflection
at curved surfaces can be treated with linear algebra too
(see page 95-97 in the book of Bretscher). The picture on this
page shows the reflection of a building in Boston in a nonlinear
mirror. Image Credit: Susan Milano, Boston, November 2004. Large version (300 K) |
