2. Raised pavement marker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raised_pavement_marker

   Raised reflective markers, such as plastic, ceramic, or metal ones, include a lens or sheeting that enhances their visibility by retroreflecting automotive headlights, while glass road studs gather automotive headlights with a dome shape and reflect the lights with a reflective layer within.

3. Glass bead road surface marking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_bead_road_surface...

   Glass beads composed of soda lime glass are essential for providing retroreflectivity in many kinds of road surface markings. [1] Retroreflectivity occurs when incident light from vehicles is refracted within glass beads that are imbedded in road surface markings and then reflected back into the driver's field of view. [ 2 ]

4. Retroreflective sheeting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroreflective_sheeting

   They are also used as a material to increase the scanning range of barcodes in factory settings. The sheeting consists of retroreflective glass beads, microprisms, or encapsulated lenses sealed onto a fabric or plastic substrate. Many different colors and degrees of reflection intensity are provided by numerous manufacturers for various ...

5. Retroreflector - Wikipedia

   Commercial retroreflective beads thus vary in index from around 1.5 (common forms of glass) up to around 1.9 (commonly barium titanate glass). The spherical aberration problem with the spherical cat's eye can be solved in various ways, one being a spherically symmetrical index gradient within the sphere, such as in the Luneburg lens design.

6. Silvering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvering

   The reflective layer on a second surface mirror such as a household mirror is often actual silver. A modern "wet" process for silver coating treats the glass with tin(II) chloride to improve the bonding between silver and glass. An activator is applied after the silver has been deposited to harden the tin and silver coatings.

7. Glass bead making - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_bead_making

   Lampworked dichroic glass bead showing thin film application Furnace glass beads. A variant of the wound glass bead making technique, and a labor-intensive one, is what is traditionally called lampworking. In the Venetian industry, where very large quantities of beads were produced in the 19th century for the African trade, the core of a ...

8. Gloss (optics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloss_(optics)

   Gloss reflection. Gloss is an optical property which indicates how well a surface reflects light in a specular (mirror-like) direction. It is one of the important parameters that are used to describe the visual appearance of an object.

9. Anti-reflective coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-reflective_coating

   For the example of glass (n S ≈ 1.5) in air (n 0 ≈ 1.0), this optimal refractive index is n 1 ≈ 1.225. [20] [21] The reflection loss of each interface is approximately 1.0% (with a combined loss of 2.0%), and an overall transmission T 1S T 01 of approximately 98%. Therefore, an intermediate coating between the air and glass can halve the ...
