why mirror is made thick.
Answers
A thick plane mirror consists of two surfaces (top and bottom) wear the reflection can take place. The image of formed after reflection from both the surfaces,except for the first image.
Answer:
it's a hint to understand better:
=> Mirror reflection has nothing to do with the thickness of the glass where the reflection material is spread on (if glass is used).
=> Mirror reflection has nothing to do with the thickness of the glass where the reflection material is spread on (if glass is used).Using glass, there are two types of mirrors, one if the reflecting material is on the forward face of the glass (typical for telescope mirrors for example) or on the backward face of the glass (typical on everyday mirrors).

hey your answer is here :
Presumably because the refraction of light is not the same for every wavelength, and the thicker the glass, the greater the displacement of one wavelength against another. So thick glass will distort the image, so a white line against a black background would appear in the reflection as a rainbow. This effect will be reduced with a thinner pane of glass.
