Lots of edges reflecting, refracting light in random patterns;

Is glass a opaque object?

The only problem that I see, if it was meant to be opaque, is that you can't see through it, which defeats the purpose of a window. If you are trying to make/buy clear glass, impurities within the glass would not allow light to pass through as easily and I imagine that this might make the glass weaker and less useful.

Why metals are opaque and lustrous in nature?

Metals are opaque, because they have metallic bonding which means that all of the atoms are surrounded by free moving electrons. Therefore, any light that passes through a metal will hit one of these electrons which will absorb the light and re-emit it. The light that is re-emitted is known as reflection which is why metals are lustrous.


Is glass transparent translucent or opaque?

No, such a transparent metal is not possible. Metals are a conductor of electricity. As a result of this, electromagnetic waves of the wavelength of light cannot penetrate it.
