Although a mirror’s surface appears smooth to the naked eye, if you looked at it through a microscope you’d see many peaks and valleys. These surface imperfections can cause interference with light waves and other electromagnetic radiation. For this reason, understanding the degree and nature of this interference is crucial to successfully designing a metal based optical system.
