Abstract
A circular mirror has a. ray of light from a source at one point on the circumference which is reflected twice. The first ray will by extension, if necessary, intersect the second reflected ray. Increasing the angle of reflection by revolving the source of light so that the first ray falls on all points of the circumference gives a locus, to the successive points made by the intersection of the first ray and the second reflected ray. The problem of this thesis is to picture the locus and find its equation.
