2. 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.

3. Mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror

   A dielectric coated mirror used in a dye laser. The mirror is over 99% reflective at 550 nanometers, (yellow), but will allow most other colors to pass through. A dielectric mirror used in tunable lasers. With a center wavelength of 600 nm and bandwidth of 100 nm, the coating is totally reflective to the orange construction paper, but only ...

4. Optical coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coating

   An optical coating is one or more thin layers of material deposited on an optical component such as a lens, prism or mirror, which alters the way in which the optic reflects and transmits light. These coatings have become a key technology in the field of optics. One type of optical coating is an anti-reflective coating, which reduces unwanted ...

5. Reflecting telescope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflecting_telescope

   Many of the advances in reflecting telescopes included the perfection of parabolic mirror fabrication in the 18th century, [9] silver coated glass mirrors in the 19th century (built by Léon Foucault in 1858), [10] long-lasting aluminum coatings in the 20th century, [11] segmented mirrors to allow larger diameters, and active optics to ...

6. One-way mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_mirror

   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.

7. Speculum metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speculum_metal

   Speculum metal. Speculum metal is a mixture of around two-thirds copper and one-third tin, making a white brittle alloy that can be polished to make a highly reflective surface. It was used historically to make different kinds of mirrors from personal grooming aids to optical devices until it was replaced by more modern materials such as metal ...
