It would need to be infinitely smooth on a molecular level and have the perfect color. The problem with even having an almost infinitely small amount of light lost on each reflection is that the light is moving so fast and bouncing off every mirror millions of times every second which causes it...
We all know that refractive index can be calculated with n=c/v and that the speed of light is
c=λf. To understand this question we need to see that light technically does not "slow down" when it passes through refractive areas. Instead it takes longer due to the thickness of the particles the...
Classical mechanics carried the general knowledge that everything was predictable. There is now a fair amount of experimental evidence within quantum mechanics saying that many things in our universe are random.
