Can you cut a radius in a piece of glass?

Yes, you need a circular glass cutter. It kind of looks like a compass.


Explain why a flat piece of glass does not bring light to a focus while a curved piece of glass can?

When light passes through a flat piece of glass, like a window, the light is refracted at both surfaces, but the exiting ray of light is parallel to the entering ray and hence the light's path is not really changed.


Striking experiment with straight sided glass?

A person can perform an experiment with a straight sided piece of glass to see if it has more strength when it is hit while it is horizontal or vertical. It has been proven that a piece of glass used in an automobile will have more strength when it is hit at an angle. This is why the windshield on a car is not straight up and down like a window would be.


We have a 3/8" thick glass coffee table top which we want to shorten. We are told if the glass is tempered- no can do. True any way to tell if a piece of glassis tempered?

You can not cut tempered glass because once a piece is broken the whole glass shatters. Tempered glass is safer because it breaks into tiny pieces rather than sharp edges like regular glass. The only way to tell if a glass is tempered is to break the glass or use a polarizer to detect stress waves. You will see stress waves in tempered glass verses regular glass. Hope this helps.


What method of charging wherein threre is no contact between a charge object and neutral object?

There is a very simple and easy way of charging a conductor without an actual contact. Rub a glass piece in silk and a static charge develops in the glass piece. Now bring this glass piece close to a metal ball grounded. This develops a charge in the ball. The opposite charge flows to like charges flow to the ground while the unlike charge remains.
