What are some words describing a mirror?
Silvered glass
What type of mirrors are on cars?
Silvered Glass mirrors. Or regular mirrors for those that don't understand Silver and/or glass
What is mirror as it relates to physics?
A mirror is a 'reflector'. If made of of silvered glass as a common mirror, the glass surface also represents a refractive plane.
Why does a thermos flask have silvered glass and a vacuum?
A thermos flask has silvered glass to reduce heat transfer through radiation. The vacuum insulation minimizes heat transfer through conduction and convection, keeping the contents of the flask hot or cold for longer periods by preventing heat exchange with the surroundings.
What is the function of the silvered inner and outer glass wall of a hot liquid?
The silvered inner and outer glass walls of a hot liquid container act as insulation to help maintain the temperature of the liquid for longer periods of time. The silver reflects heat back into the container, reducing heat transfer to the surrounding environment, keeping the liquid hot for a longer duration.
If you spray the back of glass with silve paint will that show reflection?
Not properly. There are two ways to make a mirror: Domestic mirrors are silvered (with metallic silver) on the back surface (because people touch the front) of the glass then this silver layer is coated with protective paint and plastic. A domestic mirror lasts a long time. Astronomical mirrors are silvered (with metallic aluminum) on the front surface of the glass (so the light does not have to pass through the glass to be reflected) by evaporating the aluminum metal onto the glass. An astronomical mirror needs frequent re-silvering.
Is mirror a matter?
A mirror is usually made from a glass sheet backed by a silvered surface - though highly polished metal can also be used. Therefore, a mirror is matter.
Why is silver used in making mirrors?
silver is used in making mirrors because silver has a property to reflect so it is used in making mirrors
Explain why double walled glass vessels is used in tharmos flask?
The vacuum space between the two silvered surfaces make efficient heat insulation against heat loss.
What has the author J M Freese written?
J. M Freese has written: 'Effects of outdoor exposure on the solar reflectance properties of silvered glass mirrors' -- subject(s): Reflectance, Heliostat, Mirrors
Is a mirror's surface transparent?
Not if the mirror is front silvered.
Did ancient Chinese people have mirrors?
Yes, as did many other ancient peoples including the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. However, these were often polished smoothed metal mirrors rather than the silvered glass versions we have today.
