We recognized that all our of investigations have given us a lot of data to support our thinking--that the one-way mirror both transmits and reflects light. However, we have reached a roadblock that we're not really sure how the mirror is structured, as we're stumped on how it can do both at once!
We turned to an article which describes in detail the different between the structure of a mirror, which is glass that has plated silver (or another similar metal) behind it, glass, which has impurities on it otherwise we wouldn't be able to see it at all, and a one-way mirror, which is like a checkered pattern of both glass and a mirror put together. It all began making sense to us as we came to a consensus about what this meant, using our light data to help guide us:
1. A mirror reflects almost all of the light that hits it. No light transmits through it!
2. A one-way mirror reflects and transmits about equal amounts of light.
3. Glass reflects a little light and a lot of light transmits through it!
Our data collection definitely proved to be useful for sure!
