Seeing Through Glass



      There are many different types of glass some are clear others are colored.With glass the light goes through it and there are different wavelengths with the light so that will factor in to how clear the glass will be. Does color depend on wavelength? The answer is yes color does depend on wavelength. When you have visible light hitting the glass it will go through it. I wonder then how come you can't see through wood? Well the reason is because wood takes in the light or absorbs it. A lot of that factors that play in with seeing glass are ultraviolet, inferred, or heat.Does all glass absorb visible light? Actually the answer in no clear glass does not absorb visible light.

              There are many different types of glass some are clear others are colored. Does the color spectrum play in at all? Yes it does glasses color really plays in with the color spectrum. With out the color spectrum the glass would not take on a color. Copper in also involved in this. Copper is on the red end of the spectrum. Does visible wavelength involve with color glass? The answer is yes visible wavelength goes through glass. There are all different levels of energy when talking about glass. I hoped you learned that glass plays in with solids.
