	Mirror - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In a plane mirror, a parallel beam of light changes its direction as a whole, whilst still remaining parallel; the images formed by a plane mirror are virtual images, of the same size as the original object (see mirror image).
		Mirrors, typically large and unframed, are frequently used in interior decoration to create an illusion of space, and amplify the apparent size of a room.
		The hall of mirrors, commonly found in amusement parks, is an attraction in which a number of distorted mirrors are used to produce unusual reflections of the visitor.

		The mirrors are usually a section of a rotated parabola.
		In this generation of telescopes, the mirror is usually very thin, and is kept in an optimal shape by an array of actuators (see active optics).
		The telescope was aimed by the aid of a Foucault sidÃ©rostat, which is a movable plane mirror with a 2 m diameter, mounted in a large cast-iron frame.

		Note that with respect to the base plane the slope of a face is twice that of an edge, corresponding to the fact that the horizontal distance covered from the base to the apex along an edge is twice that in a face, from the midpoint at the base.
		reflections in a plane* combined with 90Â° rotation about an axis perpendicular to the plane: 3 axes, 2 per axis, together 6; equivalently, they are 90Â° rotations combined with inversion (x is mapped to −x): the rotations correspond to those of the cube about face-to-face axes
		Complex shapes are often broken down into a mesh of irregular tetrahedra in preparation for finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics studies.

		I, MN represents the section of a plane mirror; OR is the incident ray, RP the reflected ray, 0 P and TR the normal at R. Then the law states that the angle of incidence ORT equals the angle Q
		This natural law is capable of ready experimental proof (a simple FIG I one is to take the altitude of a star with a meridian circle, its depression in a horizontal re~ fleeting surface of mercury and the direction of the nadir), and the most delicate instruments have failed to detect any divergence from it.
		Also the obliquity of the incidence would diminish the effect of any irregularities; this is experimentally confirmed by observing the images produced by matt surfaces or by smoked glass at grazing incidence.

		In the early second century bce, Diocles, in On Burning Mirrors, proved the focal property of a parabola and showed how the Sun's rays can be made to reflect a point by rotating a parabolic mirror (Toomer 1978).
		In Catoptrica, he demonstrated geometrically that the "path taken by a ray of light reflected from a plane mirror is shorter than any other reflected path that might be drawn between the source and the point of observation" (History of Optics 2001:1).
		He also discussed spherical and parabolic mirrors and was aware of spherical aberration.
