Homework Statement
Still I could not make the exact difference between the back silvered and the front silvered mirror. In many web sites only the method of making a back silvered mirror is given.
My doubt is-"what makes the deposit back silvered or front silvered?". How will you say that this surface of a transparent glass sheet is a front one and the other is the back one? After depositing the silver on anyone surface of a glass and place it upside down will it not become a back silvered one and if you keep it in the upright position will not the same act as a front silvered one? Please don't laugh at my question as it may sound trivial to the professional experts in the field of optics. Will anyone enlighten me on this question?
