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 - Wikipedia

   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. History of glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_glass

   Prior to this invention, mirror plates, made from blown "sheet" glass, had been limited in size. De Nehou's process of rolling molten glass poured on an iron table rendered the manufacture of very large plates possible. [51] This method of production was adopted by the English in 1773 at Ravenhead. The polishing process was industrialized ...

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. 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 ...
