  2. Reflection (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

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

    Some older video games used a trick to achieve this effect with one pass rendering by putting the whole mirrored scene behind a transparent plane representing the mirror. [2] Reflections on non-planar (curved) surfaces are more challenging for real time rendering. Main approaches that are used include:

  3. Phong reflection model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phong_reflection_model

    The Phong reflection model in combination with Phong shading is an approximation of shading of objects in real life. This means that the Phong equation can relate the shading seen in a photograph with the surface normals of the visible object. Inverse refers to the wish to estimate the surface normals given a rendered image, natural or computer ...

  4. Specular reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specular_reflection

    The Fresnel equations describe the physics at the optical boundary. Reflection may occur as specular, or mirror-like, reflection and diffuse reflection . Specular reflection reflects all light which arrives from a given direction at the same angle, whereas diffuse reflection reflects light in a broad range of directions.

  5. 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.

  6. Mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror

    The mirror magnified the sound of approaching enemy Zeppelins for a microphone placed at the focal point. Sound waves are much longer than light waves, thus the object produces diffuse reflections in the visual spectrum. A mirror, also known as a looking glass, is an object that reflects an image. Light that bounces off a mirror will show an ...

  7. Infinity mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_mirror

    An infinity mirror effect viewed between paired mirrors in a public bathroom. The infinity mirror (also sometimes called an infinite mirror) is a configuration of two or more parallel or angled mirrors, which are arranged to create a series of smaller and smaller reflections that appear to recede to infinity.

    The above equation written in terms of becomes: ‖ ‖ = = = i.e., + + = which is the eikonal equation and it holds for all , , , since the variable is absent. Other laws of optics like Snell's law and Fresnel formulae can be similarly obtained by considering discontinuities in ε {\displaystyle \varepsilon } and μ {\displaystyle \mu } .
