Does aluminum foil scratch glass?

Aluminum foil can scratch glass if it is rubbed against it with enough pressure, particularly if there are abrasive particles or contaminants on the surface. However, under normal circumstances, gently using aluminum foil on glass should not cause scratches. It's always best to use softer materials for cleaning or handling glass to avoid any potential damage.


What happens when you melt glass?

When glass is melted, it becomes a molten liquid that can be shaped and molded into different forms. As it cools down, it solidifies and retains the shape it was given. Melting glass also helps to remove any impurities present in the material.


Why does light changes its colour after passing through some transparent coloured like a red coloured transparent piece of glass or any such glass or matter?

When light passes through a colored transparent material, certain wavelengths of light are absorbed by the material while others are transmitted. The transmitted light has a different color because it is missing the wavelengths that were absorbed by the material. This causes the light to appear as a different color when it exits the material.


If a drinking glass cracks and you drink from it are there any chemicals that can harm the drinker or fetus?

Very doubtful. Glass is a pretty inert material and if there are any additives they are usually for color and in very minute quantities. The biggest danger would be if you swallowed a piece large enough to cause cuts in the esophagus, stomach or intestines.


When a glass rod and fur rubbed together electrons are transferred from the fur to rod. Is the fur charged If any positively or negatively charged How much compared to the rod?

Yes, the fur becomes negatively charged as it loses electrons to the glass rod. The glass rod becomes positively charged as it gains these electrons. The fur is negatively charged compared to the rod.
