  2. 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. This effect only ...

  3. Neutron supermirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_supermirror

    A mirror with a larger effective critical angle can be made by exploiting diffraction (with non-zero losses) that occurs from stacked multilayers. [3] The critical angle of total reflection, in degrees, becomes approximately 0.1 ⋅ λ ⋅ m {\displaystyle 0.1\cdot \lambda \cdot m} , where m {\displaystyle m} is the "m-value" relative to ...

  4. Dielectric mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_mirror

    Dielectric mirrors are very common in optics experiments, due to improved techniques that allow inexpensive manufacture of high-quality mirrors. Examples of their applications include laser cavity end mirrors, hot and cold mirrors , thin-film beamsplitters , high damage threshold mirrors, and the coatings on modern mirrorshades and some ...

  5. Mirror image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_image

    In the case of two mirrors, in planes at an angle α, looking through both from the sector which is the intersection of the two halfspaces, is like looking at a version of the world rotated by an angle of 2α; the points of observations and directions of looking for which this applies correspond to those for looking through a frame like that of ...

  6. Reflection (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(physics)

    Reflection of light is either specular (mirror-like) or diffuse (retaining the energy, but losing the image) depending on the nature of the interface.In specular reflection the phase of the reflected waves depends on the choice of the origin of coordinates, but the relative phase between s and p (TE and TM) polarizations is fixed by the properties of the media and of the interface between them.

  7. Specular reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specular_reflection

    The image in a flat mirror has these features: It is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front. It is the same size as the object. It is the right way up (erect). It is reversed. It is virtual, meaning that the image appears to be behind the mirror, and cannot be projected onto a screen.

  8. The Twisty Ending of Netflix's 'The Perfect Couple,' Explained

    The Perfect Couple has a premise along the lines of which you've certainly heard before: just before a wedding at a wealthy family's New England estate, someone gets killed.

  9. Parabolic reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_reflector

    An oblique projection of a focus-balanced parabolic reflector. It is sometimes useful if the centre of mass of a reflector dish coincides with its focus.This allows it to be easily turned so it can be aimed at a moving source of light, such as the Sun in the sky, while its focus, where the target is located, is stationary.
