Ege Özgün Department of Physics Engineering, Hacettepe University In the late 50’s Roger Penrose together with his father Lionel Penrose showed that there exists a geometry such that in a closed room covered with mirrors on its walls, when a candle is lit, there can be regions that are not illuminated. A decade later, Klee asked the following question [2] “Is it possible to illuminate every polygonal region from some point?” and generalized Penrose’s case. Later, Tokarsky studied the same problem in different geometries. The mushroom-like geometry initially suggested by Penrose and also studied by Klee, was further investigated by Bunimovich and since then this geometry has also been referred to as the Bunimovich mushroom. Fukushima and co-workers studied the geometry as a cavity within the ray optic
