perspex is not a kind of glass, it's a clear acrylic resin which is used as a substitute for glass in some applications.

No it isn't the same.

Yes, Perspex (also known as acrylic) is transparent. It is a clear material that allows light to pass through it, similar to glass.
No. Some windows, for example have Perspex.
Virtually all metals and most other elements. Rocks etc. Countless materials are denser than perspex (1.8g/cm3)
Yes, perspex is a strong material known for its impact resistance and durability. It is often used as a shatterproof alternative to glass in various applications.
Relatively speaking perspex is more dence than water.
The critical angle for perspex and water is approximately 41 degrees. This means that any light ray entering perspex from water at an angle greater than 41 degrees will be totally internally reflected within the perspex.
Perspex is a compound (scientifically known as Poly(methyl methacrylate or PMMA). It is a clear, solid material like glass, except it is shatter-proof. It is also known as "Plexiglass". A sentence could use the word as follows: "Many large sheets of Perspex were used to construct the safety glass for the hockey rink, due to its strength and clarity."
Perspex, also known as acrylic, is generally preferred over glass for its lightweight nature, durability, and impact resistance. It is also less prone to shattering, making it safer in certain applications. However, glass may be preferred for its clarity and heat resistance, depending on the specific use case.
