How is a mirrow made from glass?

The glass is poured to the desired thickness, and then silver is applied to the back to give it's reflective surface.  It is then coated with another substance to prevent the light from passing all the way through.  You then see your reflection.\nIn a piece of two way mirror, the silver is applied to the front of the mirror and the other non-reflective substance is omitted.  Thus, you can see all the way through.\nOne good way to tell if you are looking at a piece of two way mirror, is to put your finger up to the glass.  If there is no 'space' between the tip of your finger and the glass...it may be 2-way.  If there is a 'space', it may be only one-way.\nNext time you go into a store, look around for mirrors that appear in the most unusual places.  More than likely, these are 2-way.

Process Electrolysis\n\nYou will need two ordinary glasses, A pan , a DC electrical source and some supports to support the glasses in the pan with the rim below the water level.\n\nYou can find a simple experiment  and details here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis

carbon fiber.\nit comes as a soft material rolled up like cloth, then they cut it and put it around a mould. It is hardened by putting it under a vacuum, and then in a huge autoclave which cooks the material. the result is strong yet light carbon-fiber

No....glass is considered an amorphic substance. In other words, its structure looks the same in all directions from within the material.

It already exist...it is called ceramic. Glass is also silicon based.\nThey've been using them for years on old telegraph and telephone poles. The are still used in the electrical industry.\n\nIf you are referring to the soft silicon that fake boobs and adhesives are made from the answer in durability. It is not structurally solid enough to be used reliably.

If it hits sand, it will often make glass.  It makes the ground very hot for a short time, having so much moisture around it draws the heat away quickly.

The glass is floated on molten tin.

both will have a miniscus and this is due to the adhesive property of water. the cohesive property keeps the water molecules togherter but the adhesive props allow for movement as in a cappilary tube. the gLass is clearer than the plastic so im thinking glass

Diamonds can scratch glass...I don't believe zirconium has the same property.  You can tell with pearls if you rub them against your teeth...real ones are gritty feeling, fake ones are smooth.\n\nAs for the others, I think it requires a gemologist or someone well versed in dealing with gems.

Silica; it's what makes glass, and ceramics have insulative properties. Other than that, it would be petroleum products such as plastics, and vinyls. Rubber comes from a plant.

Well if you are talkin about a mirror made of floated glass a layman can c the quality of it other wise ind. know how is required i think (i am not proffesional in it, just being in a float glass plant for a week). If it is a mirror and you c a distracted reflection then b sure that there is impurity in the glass, as well as the transparency of float glass is supposed to be very high compares to the conventional one.

Fiberglass or fibreglass is material made from extremely fine fibers of glass. It is widely used in the manufacture of insulation and textiles. It is also used as a reinforcing agent for many plastic products; the resulting composite material, properly known as glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or glass-fiber reinforced epoxy (GRE), is called "fiberglass" in popular usage.

pumice is considered a glass too. The texture is formed by rapidly expanding gas in erupting lava.

should be glass. unless in its original form of sand than should be water. Remember Super-man made that huge piece of glass to reflect the sun an blind those crazy alien people!

Glass is made of sandstone.  Stone would be earth.
