Silver mirror is a kind of special mirror for making interior mirror or decorative glass. Compared with ordinary glass, its surface is coated with silver film, so it can reflect light. Here are some points related to silver mirrors:
Specular reflection: The silver film of a silver mirror has the ability of specular reflection. When light hits the surface of the silver mirror, they are reflected and bounce back at the same Angle. This mirror-like ability allows us to see our own reflection.
The difference with ordinary mirrors: compared with ordinary glass mirrors, silver mirrors are clearer and reflect almost all the light, while ordinary glass mirrors will absorb some of the light.
Production method: The production method of silver mirrors is usually coated with a thin layer of silver film on the surface of the glass. This is usually achieved by spraying a silver chemical solution on the glass surface and in a process that reduces the silver ions to silver foil in a chemical reaction.
Application: Silver mirror is mainly used for interior mirror, cosmetic mirror, telescope, astronomical mirror and camera lens. In addition, it can also be used in fields such as architecture and decorative glass.
