Moreover, it is also transparent, so you will see whatever is on its other side. (Some of the incident light is being either transmitted or absorbed.)<BR/><BR/>To the extent that the mirror is not a "perfect reflector" the light hitting it bounces off without irregularly - that is, it does not reproduce an image of the original. Hence a "silver" mirror will look like silver - it may really be silver, mercury, aluminum, or other metals; a gold or copper mirror will look like them! (that is, in their rough or unpolished state.)<BR/><BR/>This is why one of the titles of the Blessed Virgin Mary is "Mirror of Justice" - she is "the perfect reflector" of God, in which He sees Himself without any blemish.Dr. Thursdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666301445831509481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15252158.post-1128086993845807512005-09-30T08:29:00.000-05:002005-09-30T08:29:00.000-05:00Calm, clear water is a mirror and it has no silver...Calm, clear water is a mirror and it has no silver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
