Also known as a one-way mirror or a transparent mirror, it is a piece of glass that has been coated with a super thin layer of metal. It is placed between a darkened room a lighted room, which allows a person in the darkened room to see through the glass, but a person in the lighted room to only see his own reflection. Mirrors like this are usually used for security purposes. Police use them in interrogation rooms so that they can see the suspect, but not vice versa. Cameras can be hidden behind them to catch shoplifters, and news programs employ them in the form of teleprompters.
