The total amount of energy coming from the laser is lesser that from
a light bulb that is why it is dangerous if a laser beam gets into your
eye.
Optical mirrors are mirrors used for high quality projection purposes and
must be 1st grade quality with absolute flatness and a high reflection.
Reflection from high quality optical mirrors is typically around 90%; the
perceivable light loss due to mirrors in the light path is negligible.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) & DLP (Digital Light Processing)
Optical mirrors are always first surface mirrors, i.e. mirrors without glass in front of
the reflective layer, in comparison with standard bathroom mirrors. Standard
mirrors cannot be used because the glass will create reflections and ghost images.
SUMMARY
When an object is reflected in a plane mirror, its image is
The same as the object.
The same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
Left Right inverted.
Virtual.
When an object is reflected in a curve mirror, its image is
If concave ( real image if the position is inverted )
( virtual image if the position is upright )
If convex ( virtual image if the position is upright and smaller )
In law of reflection, the angle of incidence (i) is equal to the angle of
reflection(r).
