2. Mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror

   In X-ray telescopes, the X-rays reflect off a highly precise metal surface at almost grazing angles, and only a small fraction of the rays are reflected. [36] In flying relativistic mirrors conceived for X-ray lasers, the reflecting surface is a spherical shockwave (wake wave) created in a low-density plasma by a very intense laser-pulse, and ...

3. Segmented mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_mirror

   Segmented mirrors are typically hexagonal and arranged in a honeycomb pattern. A segmented mirror is an array of smaller mirrors designed to act as segments of a single large curved mirror. The segments can be either spherical or asymmetric (if they are part of a larger parabolic reflector [1]). They are used as objectives for large reflecting ...

4. Curved mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_mirror

   A curved mirror is a mirror with a curved reflecting surface. The surface may be either convex (bulging outward) or concave (recessed inward). Most curved mirrors have surfaces that are shaped like part of a sphere, but other shapes are sometimes used in optical devices. The most common non-spherical type are parabolic reflectors, found in ...

   [36] In the 8th century, the Persian-Arab chemist Jābir ibn Hayyān (Geber) described 46 recipes for producing colored glass in Kitab al-Durra al-Maknuna (The Book of the Hidden Pearl), in addition to 12 recipes inserted by al-Marrakishi in a later edition of the book. [37] By the 11th century, clear glass mirrors were being produced in ...

7. Plane mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_mirror

   Plane mirror. A plane mirror showing the virtual image of an urn nearby. A diagram of an object in two plane mirrors that formed an angle bigger than 90 degrees, causing the object to have three reflections. A plane mirror is a mirror with a flat (planar) reflective surface. [1][2] For light rays striking a plane mirror, the angle of reflection ...
