2. Beveled glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beveled_glass

   A beveled glass mirror, ca. 1910. Beveled glass is usually made by taking thick glass and creating an angled surface cut around the entire periphery. [1] Bevels act as prisms in sunlight creating an interesting color refraction which both highlights the glass work and provides a spectrum of colors which would ordinarily be absent in clear float glass.

3. Mirror image - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_image

   A mirror image (in a plane mirror) is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect, it results from specular reflection off from surfaces of lustrous materials, especially a mirror or water. It is also a concept in geometry and can ...

4. 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 ...

5. Bevel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bevel

   In waterskiing, a bevel is the transition area between the side of the ski and the bottom of the ski. Beginners tend to prefer sharp bevels, which allow the ski to glide on the water surface. [2] In Disc Golf, the 'beveled edge' was patented in 1983 by Dave Dunipace who founded Innova Champion Discs. This element transformed the Frisbee into ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alyson_Shotz

   Alyson Shotz (born 1964) is an American sculptor based in Brooklyn, New York. [1] She is known for experiential, large-scale abstract sculptures and installations inspired by nature and scientific concepts, which manipulate light, shadow, space and gravity in order to investigate and complicate perception. [2] [3] [4] Writers suggest her work ...

7. 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 ...
