How can the teacher see through the one-way mirror?

Some light from the students room transmits through the clear parts of the one-way mirror.

What is the process of making a one-way mirror reflective?

Silvering

300

To go through a material

This diagram show how light interacts with what material?

A one-way mirror

300

What tool is used to measure light?

Lux Meter

Which part of the eye refracts and focuses light on the retina?

Lens

400

Representation we use to explain a phenomena

Model

400

Light always travels in this kind of path.

A straight line

400

What conditions make for the weakest one-way mirror?

When equal light is on in both rooms

400

How could this person make their cell phone image more clear?

Block the sun 

400

If there is more than 1 light input, how is it determined what a person will see?

system
500

500

Light can reflect, transmit, or a combination of both

500

Explain the step-by-step process for how the eye sees an image.
