That's an awesome learning point; thank you. What percent of the light does a mirror reflect in a specular way?

- analog31 6y agoLike the design of paint, the design of a mirror can affect its reflectivity. For an extreme example: https://www.semrock.com/maxmirrors.aspx https://www.semrock.com/maxmirrors.aspx Mirrors that are a cheaper coating on glass or metal can be in the 95% range without too much effort. If you don't care about actually forming an image with a mirror, it can be quite cheap, e.g., plain aluminum (with whatever oxide forms on its surface) or aluminized mylar film.
