The light source is at C. Rays are reflected in the circle. Observe what happens as you drag C inside the circle.
The phantom curve made up by the reflected rays is mathematically the

When C lies on the circumference of the circle, the curve is a cardioid. If C is at infinity, then the curve is a nephroid. From heart to kidney...
