Half-Silvered Mirrors and Wythoff's Game
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
We propose the following problem. Given an array of vertical mirrors that simultaneously transmit and reflect, and a single incoming ray of light, describe the configuration of all light rays that are generated. We solve the problem here for a certain infinite configuration of mirrors; the solution involves the winning positions (a(n), b(n)) of Wythoff's game.
