visible light - What color would you see if you place 2 mirrors in opposit when one is a one way mirror


What would you see if you have 2 huge mirrors (you cant look over it or next to it)


You place them with the reflecting side to each other and you look in the mirror from behind one mirror (one way mirror = 1 side glass 1 side mirror, like in a movie when cops are questioning a suspect.)


The mirror would reflect each other endless.


The example could be preformed with a see trough mirror (1 side mirror other side glass) but I don't have one, also I don't have huge mirrors.


Example


Would it make a diffrence if you place a light source and if you dont have a light source?


My guess is that you would always see black because there is nothing to mirror.


Edit important:


There is nothing in the room to reflect on, so it only reflects the mirror, thats what i ment.




Answer



I understand that you are saying that both the mirrors reflect 100 percent yet somehow you are able to see, anyway if this is possible lets first assume you can see the frame of the mirror from which you are seeing in ghe mirror in front, first of all the mirror would continue to get smaller and smaller, and then finally vanish into a point because you would not be able to resolve it, it would be like a sort of pyramid with its apex waaaay inside the mirror.


Now in your original question what you have is even removed the frame, you will see nothing, not even a single dot, see since all the light is reflecting lets assume it's white light the first reflection would be a big white board, now because of 100% reflection the light will not diminish but a smaller white board will be formed, since there is no difference in brightness you will not be able to see this image ane none of the images that would be formed afterwards, since you will not identify any image it would be like shining into a very bright like, something like looking into floodlights from real close.
