2. One-way mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_mirror

   A one-way mirror, also called two-way mirror[1] (or one-way glass, half-silvered mirror, and semi-transparent mirror), is a reciprocal mirror that appears reflective from one side and transparent from the other. The perception of one-way transmission is achieved when one side of the mirror is brightly lit and the other side is dark.

3. Infinity mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_mirror

   The infinity mirror (also sometimes called an infinite mirror) is a configuration of two or more parallel or angled mirrors, which are arranged to create a series of smaller and smaller reflections that appear to recede to infinity. [1][2] Often the front mirror of an infinity mirror is half-silvered (a so-called one way mirror), but this is ...

4. Mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror

   One-way mirrors One-way mirrors (also called two-way mirrors) work by overwhelming dim transmitted light with bright reflected light. [60] A true one-way mirror that actually allows light to be transmitted in one direction only without requiring external energy is not possible as it violates the second law of thermodynamics. [citation needed]:

5. Dielectric mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_mirror

   Dielectric mirror. A dielectric mirror, also known as a Bragg mirror, is a type of mirror composed of multiple thin layers of dielectric material, typically deposited on a substrate of glass or some other optical material. By careful choice of the type and thickness of the dielectric layers, one can design an optical coating with specified ...

6. Optical cavity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_cavity

   Types of two-mirror optical cavities, with mirrors of various curvatures, showing the radiation pattern inside each cavity. Light confined in a resonator will reflect multiple times from the mirrors, and due to the effects of interference, only certain patterns and frequencies of radiation will be sustained by the resonator, with the others being suppressed by destructive interference.

7. Silvering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvering

   Silvering. Silvering on the inside of a glass test tube. Silvering is the chemical process of coating a non-conductive substrate such as glass with a reflective substance, to produce a mirror. While the metal is often silver, the term is used for the application of any reflective metal.
