A perfect mirror uses the same source but a doubled pressure multiplier. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

A perfect mirror doubles the pressure

The mirror case uses the same irradiance and speed with multiplier two.

Mirror pressureAbsorber and mirror pressures are separate checked modes.irradianceSource=boundspeed=6 m/smode=absorberpressure=1 Padirection=normalirradianceSource=boundspeed=6 m/smode=mirrorpressure=2 Padirection=normal

The absorber value stays one pascal

The doubled value is not copied from the absorber label.
