Usually a mirror is a sheet of highly polished metal, or a plate of glass with a quicksilver backing; preferable to either is clear glass, all by itself, so formed as totally to reflect an impinging beam of light.
Its rays pass through prisms formed so as to refract impinging light into desired paths with but little loss.
The greater the number of moleculesimpinging against an obstacle in a given time, the greater the pressure.
But, in a chemical action such as the solution of gases, the nature of the impinging molecules plays, on the contrary, the most important part.
These molecules in impinging against an obstacle produce a pressure.
In impingingagainst a liquid, a portion of the gas enters into the liquid itself, and is held by it so long as other gaseous molecules impinge against the liquid--exert a pressure on it.
But the resistance, according to the law of impact, is always equal to the exertion of the impinging body.
And therefore if Light were reflected by impinging upon the solid parts of the Glass, it would be scatter'd as much by the most polish'd Glass as by the roughest.
Lastly, Were the Rays of Light reflected by impinging on the solid parts of Bodies, their Reflexions from polish'd Bodies could not be so regular as they are.
Reflexion is not the impinging of Light on the solid impervious parts of Bodies, but some other power by which those solid parts act on Light at a distance.
The Cause of Reflexion is not the impinging of Light on the solid or impervious parts of Bodies, as is commonly believed.
Now if Light be reflected, not by impinging on the solid parts of Bodies, but by some other principle; it's probable that as many of its Rays as impinge on the solid parts of Bodies are not reflected but stifled and lost in the Bodies.
Other explosions have resulted from want of stays, and from too much heatimpinging on some particular part; and in domestic boilers from freezing of pipes under pressure.

Rays of light impingingon a reflecting surface are a mark that those rays will be reflected at an angle equal to the angle of incidence.
If a body, they say, strike another body at rest, it will communicate to it its motion; but this communication does not imply a true causality, but that the motion of the impinging body is a mere occasion of the motion of the body impinged.

The resultant pressure of the fluid on the surface is in the direction of v, and is equal to v multiplied by the mass impingingper second.
The principle of momentum gives readily enough the total or resultant pressure of a jet impinging on a plane surface, but in some cases it is useful to know the distribution of the pressure.
Curves of Pressure of Jets impinging normally on a Plane.
If a series of vanes are interposed in succession, the quantity of water impingingon the vanes per second is the total discharge of the nozzle, and the energy expended at the nozzle is GQv^2/2g.
The quantity of water impinging per second is [omega]v.
The pressure on the plane is in the direction AE, and its amount is = mass of water impinging per second X AE.
If Pa is the pressure in any direction, m the mass of fluid impingingper second, va the change of velocity in the direction of Pa due to impact, then Pa = mva.
