How long has stained glass been around?
Stained Glass Has been around since the early middle ages.
What is in a light bulb that lets it get hot and not catch fire?
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.
Can a obsidian rock be found in Louisiana?
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.
Can you use sports logos to turn into stained glass?
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.
What is north light roof truss?
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.
Why doesn't a clear window refract white light?
It does. The light refracts when it enters one side of the glass, and then it refracts in the other direction when it leaves the other side and goes back into air. The slab of glass doesn't distort the image, because its surfaces are flat and parallel. So light leaves the glass in very nearly the same direction as it was headed when it arrived.
How will we see through glass?
Since glass allows the light to pass through
Is a stained glass window polarized?
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.
Who can help me repair a broken window panel?
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?
How to raise the driver side window to have room to remove the power window motor in a 2000 Mazda MPV when the motor is seized.?
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.
What make you see threw 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.
In which material does a light ray entering from air slow down more?
Glass, since glass is a very dense material it will take a while for the light to enter.
Suppose light travels 1.5 times faster in a vacuum than it does in glass. What is the index of refraction for glass Express your answer as a decimal.?
The index of refraction for glass is calculated by taking the speed of light in a vacuum and dividing it by the speed of light in glass. Since light travels 1.5 times faster in a vacuum, the index of refraction for glass would be 1 divided by 1.5, which equals 0.67.
Why isn't a mirror a transparent object?
A mirror is not a transparent object because it does not allow light to pass through. Instead, a mirror reflects light, creating an image of the objects in front of it. Transparent objects, like glass, allow light to pass through with minimal reflection or distortion.
What is formed when an object which does not allow light to pass through is in the path of light?
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.
What happens when light hits frosted glass?
When light hits frosted glass, the glass scatters the light in different directions due to its rough surface, creating a diffused light effect. This diffused light reduces glare and creates a soft, gentle lighting ambiance. Frosted glass is commonly used in windows, doors, and lampshades to achieve this effect.
How do you replace a broken pane in a double paned window?
Several years ago I broke one pane of our Anderson double pane window in the garage. I decided to replace it but found out that the two panes are actually one piece of glass- its moulded into one piece. The cost from Anderson was about the same as the complete window and a glass guy I talked to could make one (taking two panes and making the window) but since it was in the unheated garage I decided to remove the remaining glass and install a single pane of glass. If this were to happen with a window in the house I would just go ahead and replace the whole sash.
