What is The Actual Colour of a Mirror? (3D animated)

When you place two mirrors adjacent to each other, they produce multiple images depending on the angle between them. As soon as you place the two mirrors in front of each other, they reflect light indefinitely and, in theory, produce infinite images.

However, in reality, when two mirrors are perfectly aligned in front of each other, they produce images that turn greener and greener until the images fade out in a green color. This phenomenon occurs because mirrors reflect each color equally except green. The surface atoms of a mirror give any reflection a very slight green tinge. This green reflection is more noticeable because green is reflected by the mirrors a little more effectively than other colors. Consequently, mirrors are technically green in color.

FAQ

Q: Why do two mirrors placed in front of each other produce green-tinted images?
A: The green tint appears because mirrors reflect each color equally except green. The surface atoms of a mirror give any reflection a slight green tinge, which becomes more prominent as the reflections continue indefinitely.

Q: Do mirrors reflect all colors equally?
A: No, mirrors do not reflect all colors equally. They reflect green light more effectively than other colors, giving reflections a very slight green tinge.

Q: Is it possible for mirrors to produce infinite images indefinitely?
A: In theory, two perfectly aligned mirrors can produce infinite images. However, in reality, the images turn greener and eventually fade out due to the slight green tinge introduced by the mirrors' surface atoms.
