2. Curved mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_mirror

   A convex mirror diagram showing the focus, focal length, centre of curvature, principal axis, etc. A convex mirror or diverging mirror is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source. [1] Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light.

3. Segmented mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_mirror

   Segmented mirrors are typically hexagonal and arranged in a honeycomb pattern. A segmented mirror is an array of smaller mirrors designed to act as segments of a single large curved mirror. The segments can be either spherical or asymmetric (if they are part of a larger parabolic reflector [1]). They are used as objectives for large reflecting ...

4. Mirrors in Mesoamerican culture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrors_in_Mesoamerican...

   A large quantity of circular pyrite mirrors were excavated from Kaminaljuyu, although their purpose was not recognised by the excavators due to the complete oxidation of the reflective surface. A number of the mirror backs were decorated with scenes in a pure Teotihuacan style. [5]

5. Parabolic reflector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_reflector

   A parabolic (or paraboloid or paraboloidal) reflector (or dish or mirror) is a reflective surface used to collect or project energy such as light, sound, or radio waves. Its shape is part of a circular paraboloid , that is, the surface generated by a parabola revolving around its axis.

6. 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 ...

7. Spin casting (mirrors) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_casting_(mirrors)

   Spin casting is a technique for constructing large parabolic mirrors by using the curved surface formed by a rotating liquid (e.g. in a rotating furnace). [1] It is distinct from the spin casting or centrifugal rubber mold casting (CRMC) technique used for casting metal or plastics.
