  2. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    Photons interact with an object by some combination of reflection, absorption and transmission. Some materials, such as plate glass and clean water, transmit much of the light that falls on them and reflect little of it; such materials are called optically transparent. Many liquids and aqueous solutions are highly transparent.

  3. Opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opacity

    An opaque object is neither transparent (allowing all light to pass through) nor translucent (allowing some light to pass through). When light strikes an interface between two substances, in general, some may be reflected, some absorbed, some scattered, and the rest transmitted (also see refraction ).

  5. Invisibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisibility

    By using two parabolic cylindric mirrors and one plane mirror, the image of the background is directed around an object, making the object itself invisible - at least from two sides. Invisibility is the state of an object that cannot be seen. An object in this state is said to be invisible (literally, "not visible").

  6. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)

    An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that are designed to refract light. At least one surface must be angled — elements with two parallel surfaces are not prisms. The most familiar type of optical prism is the triangular prism, which has a triangular base and rectangular sides.

  9. Transparent ceramics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent_ceramics

    Transparent armor is a material or system of materials designed to be optically transparent, yet protect from fragmentation or ballistic impacts. The primary requirement for a transparent armor system is to not only defeat the designated threat but also provide a multi-hit capability with minimized distortion of surrounding areas.
