  2. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    The size of this acceptance cone is a function of the refractive index difference between the fiber's core and cladding. Optical waveguides are used as components in integrated optical circuits (e.g., combined with lasers or light-emitting diodes, LEDs) or as the transmission medium in local and long-haul optical communication systems ...

  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).

    It has all the workability of an amorphous glass, but upon recrystallization it demonstrates properties similar to a crystalline ceramic. Vycor is 96% fused silica glass, which is crystal clear, lightweight and high strength. One advantage of these type of materials is that they can be produced in large sheets and other curved shapes.

    This results in the translucent, "milky white" appearance. When a voltage is applied to the electrodes, the electric field formed between the two transparent electrodes on the glass causes the liquid crystals to align, allowing light to pass through the droplets with very little scattering and resulting in a transparent state.

  6. Chalcedony - Wikipedia

    Carnelian (also spelled cornelian) is a clear-to-translucent reddish-brown variety of chalcedony. Its hue may vary from a pale orange to an intense almost-black coloration. Similar to carnelian is sard, which is brown rather than red.

  9. Transparency (graphic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(graphic)

    This image has partial transparency (254 possible levels of transparency between fully transparent and fully opaque). It can be transparent against any background despite being anti-aliased. Some image formats, such as PNG and TIFF, also allow partial transparency through an alpha channel, which solves the edge limitation problem.
