This circle will investigate the behavior of lasers as they bounce off or get stuck in the walls of an enclosure. We will ask many questions such as: can we predict if the beam will end? How far will it travel? How precisely can we track the path of this laser? We will explore through pictures and numbers, strategy and discussion to hopefully find intriguing patterns.
