Why ultraviolet spectroscopy is also called quartz spectroscopy?
I'm a bit curious as to who exactly calls it that; I've never heard that term before. At a guess I'd say it's probably because ordinary glass is somewhat opaque to certain frequencies of ultraviolet light, but quartz glass transmits it.
Will quartz cut glass like diamonds?
No. Diamonds cut glass because diamonds are harder than glass. Quartz is not as hard as diamond.
What is the difference between quartz crystal and glass?
A quartz will display six sided prismatic crystal with a six sided pyramidal termination. The crystal system is referred to as hexagonal in most reference material, but may be described as trigonal in others.
What is smelt quartz?
"Smelt Quartz" is commonly sold as a variety of quartz, especially from many eBay vendors. "Smelt Quartz" is not quartz at all -- it is common glass, which is made from melting quartz in the presence another compound (called a flux) which lowers the melting temperature. Glass is not crystalline, whereas quartz and other minerals (with few exceptions) are crystalline. Most people can't tell the difference, but glass is optically isotropic (doesn't polarize light) whereas quartz is anisotropic (polarizes light). Glass also has a lower density, which you might be able to detect by its heft, and "smelt quartz" usually has unnatural looking streaky patches in it."
What is the difference between a magnifying glass and burning glass?
It's the same thing.
What is the difference between Quartz and glassy silica?
Quartz and glassy silica are both composed of the same elements in the same proportion. The difference is that in quartz is crystalline whereas glass is amorphous. This means that in quartz, the atoms are all ligned up in a regular repeating lattice. In glass, the atoms are arranged in a random way. This is analagous to the difference between a set of childrens blocks that have been stacked up nicely in regular rows, and blocks that are just dumped in a heap, and are arranged randomly.
Is quartz glass just plain glass or a gemstone?
quartz is a mineral M
Si O2 is the formula for this mineral?
Heating a mixture of quartz (SiO2) and calcium oxide (CaO) - also known as lime, makes ordinary glass.
Is glass a subset of quartz?
Glass is not a subset of quartz because glass does not fit the definition of a mineral in that it has no crystalline structure.
What practical uses can quartz crystal have?
You will find quartz crystal being used in laboratory tubes and crucibles, ordinary glass, foundry molds and construction work, as a filter, crafted into a special lenses or prism and quartz glass tubes for lamps as well as in radios, televisions, radars and digital watches. Quartz is also a very important component of sandstone, quartzite and granite all of which are building stones.
What is chemically related to glass?
Silica sand is the major component of glass (quartz).
Why ultraviolet spectroscopy is also called quartz spectroscopy?

Will quartz cut glass like diamonds?
No. Diamonds cut glass because diamonds are harder than glass. Quartz is not as hard as diamond.
Is the glass in jars made from quartz?
Glass is typically made by melting sand, Much of that sand consists of quartz. Some glass will also be made of recycled glass.
What is the difference between auto glass and regular glass?
The difference between auto glass and regular glass is that auto glass has a thin layer of flexible clear plastic placed between two (or more) layers of glass. The film holds the glass in place when it breaks and will lessen the injuries from broken glass.
WHAT is the What is the difference between glass and mirror?
you can see thought glass and not mirrors
What is the difference between ceramics and glass?
Usually ceramics is not transparent and glass is
