What is a Mirror What is a Mirror? And How Does it Work?

Mirrors are made up of an uncoated glass surface that has a coating of a thin seamless film of metallic behind it. When light hits the glass then it passes through glass onto the metal film that then reflect shades of the item that is in front of it. Since the film’s surface is smooth, the light can reflect directly on the surface instead of traveling in every direction.

Kinds of Mirrors Types of Mirrors Plane Mirrors

These mirrors are commonly used in bedrooms and bathrooms.

Convex mirrors

These bulge outwards, so projections appear smaller. These are mounted in the rearview mirrors that are found on cars.

Concave mirrors have concave edges.

The curves are inwards and the image appears to be magnified. This is a technique used by dentists as well as for shaving.

Mirrors can reflect light from 495nm up to 570nm, making them appear green. In the absence of mirrors, salons and beauty salons would be affected. Driving a vehicle would become highly risky. Without mirrors, simple tasks would become complicated or nearly impossible.
