3. Infinity mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_mirror

   A self-contained infinity mirror used as a wall decoration. In a classic self-contained infinity mirror, a set of light bulbs, LEDs, or other point-source lights are placed around the periphery of a fully reflective mirror, and a second, partially reflective "one-way mirror" is placed a short distance in front of it, in a parallel alignment.

4. Non-reversing mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-reversing_mirror

   Comparison of reflections of a pen in an ordinary mirror (left) and two perpendicular mirrors forming the first type of non-reversing mirror (right). The latter also illustrates the visible line in the middle if measures are not taken to minimise it. A non-reversing mirror can be made by connecting two regular mirrors at their edges at a 90 ...

5. Mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror

   A mirror reflecting the image of a vase A first-surface mirror coated with aluminium and enhanced with dielectric coatings. The angle of the incident light (represented by both the light in the mirror and the shadow behind it) exactly matches the angle of reflection (the reflected light shining on the table). 4.5-metre (15 ft)-tall acoustic mirror near Kilnsea Grange, East Yorkshire, UK, from ...

6. Acoustic mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_mirror

   Spherical mirrors can be used for direction finding by moving the sensor rather than the mirror; another unusual example was the Arecibo Observatory. [3] Acoustic mirrors had a limited effectiveness, and the increasing speed of aircraft in the 1930s meant that they would already be too close to engage by the time they had been detected.

7. Distorting mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distorting_mirror

   A distorting mirror, funhouse mirror or carnival mirror is a popular attraction at carnivals and fairs. [1] Instead of a normal plane mirror that reflects a perfect mirror image, distorting mirrors are curved mirrors , often using convex and concave sections to achieve the distorted effect. [ 2 ]
