  2. Curved mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_mirror

    A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that is recessed inward (away from the incident light). Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point. They are used to focus light. Unlike convex mirrors, concave mirrors show different image types depending on the distance between the object and the mirror.

    Along with focal points, he also noted that the image in a concave mirror is inverted. [71] Shen, who never asserted that he was the first to experiment with camera obscura, hints in his writing that camera obscura was dealt with in the Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang written by Duan Chengshi (d. 863) during the Tang dynasty (618–907), in ...

  4. Wikipedia : Picture peer review/Concave and Convex mirrors

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Concave_and_Convex_mirrors

    What I want to be reviewed is: 1- is the resolution okay 2- is it considered wikipedia's bets work or pleasuring to the eye .. and therefore, should it be nominated as a featured picture or not. Author: Myself User:Eshcorp. Pages they appear in: Curved mirror, but more could be added. Nominate and support. - Eshcorp 07:43, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

    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. Cassegrain reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassegrain_reflector

    Light path in a Cassegrain reflecting telescope. The Cassegrain reflector is a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror, often used in optical telescopes and radio antennas, the main characteristic being that the optical path folds back onto itself, relative to the optical system's primary mirror entrance aperture.

  8. Mangin mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangin_mirror

    The Mangin mirror was invented in 1874 [1] by a French military engineer named Colonel Alphonse Mangin as a substitute for the more difficult to manufacture parabolic reflecting mirror for use in searchlights. Since the catadioptric design eliminated most of the off-axis aberration found in parabolic mirrors, Mangin mirrors had the added ...
