  4. Metallic mirrors in Ancient Egypt • the third millennium B.C • Polished ->reflective surface of Gold • Later, mirrors made by bronze

  5. History of the Mirror • Metallic mirrors in Ancient Egypt -made by gold, silver, bronze etc.. • Basic glass mirrors in the 1300’s -Venice • Production of large size wall mirrors.. -France during the Baroque Period

  6. Basic glass mirrors in the 1300’s • The first way.. -a mixture of mercury and tin on the back of the glass.

  9. How mirrors are made… • Float Glass -a much greater quality! ->very important to make good mirrors • Wash by deionised water & cerium oxide • Spray a thin layer of tin -promote the adhesion of the silver • Silvering, Coppering, Coating…

  10. Red ox Reaction • R -> Reducing agent • Ox -> Oxidizing agent • Mn+ -> Ionized metal

  11. How mirrors work.. • Smooth surface of silver -Doesn’t absorb the light or -doesn’t scatter the light ->Reflect the light perfectly

  12. Human eyes.. • “Everything that can be seen is seen only when light from that object travels to our eyes.” • Object distance = Image distance • law of reflection

  13. Human eyes… • In order to see the image of an object in a mirror, you must sight at the image; when you sight at the image, light will come to your eye along that line of sight.

  14. Human eyes… • the orientation of the image ->left-right reversal

  15. Use of the Mirror • To observe figures • To make space look wider.. • To make rooms brighter…
