Why transparent object look transparent?
Because that object does not reflect light. So glass is transparent because light passes through it. Skin is transparent under X-rays because the skin cannot reflect the high energy Xrays.
Does red glass only reflect and transmit red light waves?
No, red glass does not only reflect and transmit red light waves. It actually transmits the white light waves through the red glass creating a red glow. A transparent object generally transmits light while a solid object reflects light.
Why do transparent objects not reflect light?
They do, to a small extent, but they transmit most of it.
What type of glass allows some light to pass through it?
A Transparent glass !!
Does aluminum foil reflect light?
Yes, it is true.

What does to a transparent object do to light?
If it is perfectly transparent, nothing. It can refract and reflect the light. For example, a lens is made of glass which is transparent. The important properties are the refractive index of the material and the angle that light hits the object at.
Do transparent objects reflect light?
No, a transparent object would totally transmit all light through it. However there are no transparent objects, and objects which we think of as being transparent are in fact translucent. All objects absorb at least some light. Glass for instance will transmit about 90% or so of visible light and reflect the rest. A transparent object will invariably have edges. Those edges are typically polished to facilitate transmission. A polished surface will always reflect some light.

Why are glass material transparent?
light passes through glass
What is a characteristic of glass?
Some glass is transparent to visible light.
Why can we see glass when it is transparent?
atoms vibrate, causing it to heat up. Making it transparent.
Can glass reflect light tell me . i need to know by Sunday 9th November 2008 thanks?
No glass does not reflect light
What is more reflective toward radiation mirror or aluminum foil?
I would have to say aluminum foil, since radiation can travel through glass. radiation is reflected from the surface of aluminum foil. With a mirror the radiation has to travel through a small layer of glass twice before the mirror is finished with it. Glass is not totally transparent, some light is absorbed so the naked aluminum reflects better.
Does a prism refract light or reflect light?
A prism refracts light because it's a transparent element with flat, polished surfaces.
How are aluminum foil and mirrors alike?
any metal polished will reflect light all a mirror is is a sheet of glass with a thin layer of metal behind it
Can glass reflect light?
yes
