  2. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    When infrared light of these frequencies strikes an object, the energy is reflected or transmitted. If the object is transparent, then the light waves are passed on to neighboring atoms through the bulk of the material and re-emitted on the opposite side of the object. Such frequencies of light waves are said to be transmitted. [10] [11]

  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).

    Due to the magnitude of c, the effect of light pressure is negligible for everyday objects. For example, a one-milliwatt laser pointer exerts a force of about 3.3 piconewtons on the object being illuminated; thus, one could lift a U.S. penny with laser pointers, but doing so would require about 30 billion 1-mW laser pointers. [22]

  5. Cesia (visual appearance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesia_(visual_appearance)

    This is the same kind of phenomenon that Richard S. Hunter (1969) calls "geometric attributes of appearance". [1] The advantage is that the concept of cesia encompasses all the involved aspects in a single word, and that all cesias have been organized in a three-dimensional order system according to three axes of variation, similar to color order systems or color models.

  6. Invisibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisibility

    Magical objects such as rings, cloaks and amulets can be worn to grant the wearer permanent invisibility (or temporary invisibility until the object is taken off). Magical potions can be consumed to grant temporary or permanent invisibility. Magic spells can be cast on people or objects, usually giving temporary invisibility.

    Real-world subsurface scattering of light in a photograph of a human hand Computer-generated subsurface scattering in Blender. Subsurface scattering (SSS), also known as subsurface light transport (SSLT), [1] is a mechanism of light transport in which light that penetrates the surface of a translucent object is scattered by interacting with the material and exits the surface potentially at a ...
