Does red glass transmit red light waves?

obviously not because the color of glass does not always effect the light


What is an object that transmit light or allows light to pass through it?

Any transparent object as glass.


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.


What are strands of glass tha transmit digital data by pulses?

Fiber optic cables transmit digital signals as pulses of light.


What is an example of the different materials that causes light to absorb reflect or transmit?

Glass, clear plastics, perspex, most gases


Can light pass through solids?

Light passes through solids that are transparent to light, though that transparency may be in varying degrees depending on the solid. Clear glass allows light to pass; colored glass allows only wavelengths of that color to pass, and some otherwise opaque solids (like gold) can transmit light if they are reduced to a thin film. Translucent solids transmit light but cause it to be scattered in random directions. Opaque solids do not transmit light, but reflect all but a small portion that is absorbed by the material.

What cables transmit signals as pulses of light over glass strands inside protected tubing?

Fiber Optic cables carry data as light.


What is fiber optic cabling?

It is a bundle of glass fibers that are made very precisely from very pure optical glass. They act as "Light Pipes", and channel light through them with very little loss of intensity. They can handle curves and bends easily, so that the light can go around corners. They are used to transmit data via light pulses that can be interpreted by machines. They can also be made into 'scopes' that can view around corners or transmit light into small spaces, such as the interior of the human body.


Different between fiber optical cable and copper cable?

Fiber optic cable is constructed out of glass or plastic, and uses light pulses to transmit data. Copper cable is made out of copper material (not glass or plastic) and uses electrical voltages to transmit signals.


Why do Car Windows transmit light for the persons inside the car while reflecting light for the persons outside the car?

All glass windows both transmit and reflect light; the question is, what's the total light coming off of a piece of glass? If the inside of the car is dark and the exterior is bright, then the light coming out through the glass will be a tiny fraction of the light being reflected, and the primary image that you see will be the reflected image. But if it is dark outside and you turn on a light inside the car, then you'll see mirrored windows - but you would be plainly visible from outside!
