2. 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 ...

3. 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 ...

4. Pier glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_glass

   A pier glass or trumeau mirror is a mirror which is placed on a pier, i.e. a wall between two windows supporting an upper structure. [1] It is therefore generally of a long and tall shape to fit the space. It may be as a hanging mirror or as mirrored glass affixed flush to the pier, in which case it is sometimes of the same shape and design as ...

5. Perfect mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_mirror

   A very complex dielectric mirror can reflect up to 99.999% of the light incident upon it, for a narrow range of wavelengths and angles. A simpler mirror may reflect 99.9% of the light, but may cover a broader range of wavelengths. Almost any dielectric material can act as a perfect mirror through total internal reflection.

6. Kozyrev mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozyrev_mirror

   A Kozyrev mirror (Russian: Зеркало Козырева, romanized: Zerkalo Kozyreva), in Russian esoteric literature from the 1990s, is a pseudoscientific device made from long sheets of aluminum (sometimes from glass, or a reflecting, mirror-like material) curled into a cylindrical spiral. It is alleged to focus different types of ...
