Does light travel through a one way mirror?

Yes, light travels through a "one way mirror" but only a small part of the light, most of the light is reflected. In fact light will travel both ways through a "one way mirror"!What makes a "one way mirror" appear to act one way is if the room on one side is brightly lit and the room on the other side is dimly lit, in the brightly lit room the reflected light from the brightly lit room swamps out the small amount of transmitted light from the dimly lit room and the mirror appears to be an ordinary mirror, but in the dimly lit room the transmitted light from the brightly lit room swamps out the small amount of reflected light from the dimly lit room and the mirror appears to be a window.


These two figures show a flashlight beam being reflected off of a mirror and waves being reflected off of the side of a pool respectively What scientific property is illustrated by these two figures?

The exact angle at which the beam and wave strike the surface is the same angle at which they are reflected.
