Stained Glass Has been around since the early middle ages.
Light bulbs have a tungsten filament (the spring-looking, metal substance in the center that lights up when electric current flows through it). Since tungsten has the highest melting point of any element, but can be shaped into a very thin filament, it is perfect for use in light bulbs. It can get hot enough to glow, but will not melt under normal conditions. All of this is contained in a glass enclosure. Since glass is a good insulator, it helps to dissipate heat a little better than metal and other substances, in terms of touching it after it has been heated.
No, obsidian is also called 'volcanic glass,' since it is a product of cooled lava. Since there are no volcanoes in Louisiana there will not be any natural obsidian.
Since stained glass windows are made from a pattern, the pattern can be as simple or as complicated as the artist is able to replicate. So yes, sports logos can be turned into stained glass windows or art depending on the artisan or possibly a manufacturer specializing in the creation of patterned stained glass.
Roofs of Long span structures are made of steel trusses. They are can be designed with glazing ( inclined glass panels towards north sky) on north side, since in northern hemisphere there is no direct or harsh sun light in north. It provides a very consistent light indoors. Now a days even south lighting is also used for a more intense lighting. Proper care should be taken for rain water draining at glazed panels.
Since glass allows the light to pass through
No. This is especially true in the middle ages since the invention of polarization is new. As far as new stain glass I doubt that it is.
I have a window that is original to my house and the brand is nowhere on the window. A glass panel broke. Since I don't know the manufacturer, who should I contact to repair it?
Completely remove the inside door panel. Since the window is down, the two screws that hold the window glass to the regulator should be easily acessable. Remove these two screws. Disconnect the regulator from the window glass. Push the window glass up to the very top. A bungy cord can be used to hold the glass up while the motor is being removed. Hook the bungy cord to the top of the door. Hook the other end to the bottom of the window glass.
silicon edit: The structure of glass does not absorb light from the visible spectrum. Since the light passes through the object, people are capable of seeing behind the glass.
Glass, since glass is a very dense material it will take a while for the light to enter.
Depends on the surface of the object that the light is projected on. If the object has a polished surface like an inoxidable steel, or the object is a mirror, the light will produce a reflexion or the light comes back when it hits the mirror. Behind any object, is formed a shadow, since such object is not a glass.
Some of the light is reflected, some is absorbed by the glass, and the rest makes it all the way through and comes out of the other side. Since the glass is "frosted" or"ground", the light is scattered (bounces around) inside the glass, and doesn't follow a straight path. Although the light intensity and illumination survive the trip through it, images don't.
Since it would probably be tempered glass, 100lbs. of pressure.
Selectivity is the optical property of glass (or other materials) which allow to pass a large part of visible light, but reflects or absorbs a large part of non-visible light (such as ultraviolet and infrared). This is a good feature for buildings since, sometimes, we want more daylight to go through the windows but we do not want heat to get in the building. It is important to mention that ultraviolet and infrared light (or energy) carries heat but not illumination (or visible light).
Glass, being that it is transparent, will allow light to pass through it. Since the bowl relative to your ice cream is concave, it will channel all that light in toward your ice cream, causing it to heat up and melt. I say all that light, meaning all the light that is allowed to pass through. In real systems, light moving from 1 medium to another will refracted through and reflected away; both at differing degrees.
then we wouldn't be able to identify from air and glass at all, since light would pass through glass without deflecting at all!!
