I don't think magnetism is affected by glass.

Edit:

Magnetic field are unaffected by glass. Magnets and electrical fields in general are only effected by other magnetic fields and materials which generate them. Think of a compass that is brought near another magnet. Magnetic fields are exponential in strength meaning that they are most strong at the surface and quickly fade with distance. Dont remember the equation but its simple and straight forward. So if you want a magnetic field to extend through a thick (5mmm) piece of glass you will need larger more powerful magnets such as rare earth or neodymium magnets. Its really about the strength of the magnet and the distance of the magnetic field. Hope that helps.

Yes, magnetism passes through polystyrene


Can magnetism pass through magnetic materials?

Yes, magnetism can pass through some magnetic materials such as iron or steel, but may be blocked or weakened by others like nickel or cobalt. The ability of magnetism to pass through a material depends on its magnetic permeability.

Does infrared pass through glass?

Yes, infrared radiation can pass through glass.


Does UV light pass through glass?

Yes, UV light can pass through glass, but the amount that passes through depends on the type of glass and its thickness.


Can magnetism pass through fruit juice?

Magnetism CAN pass through fruit juice. If you were to use a bar magnet on the table attracting another magnet on the other side, it would still attract. Magnetic studs are a good example of magnetism because they can stick/ connect together even through the flap of the ear.


can sonar pass through glass?

Sonar waves can pass through glass, but the accuracy and strength of the signal may be affected by the type and thickness of the glass. Sound waves can reflect, refract, or pass through glass depending on its composition and density.


Does glass allow microwaves to pass through them?

Yes, glass is transparent to microwaves and allows them to pass through, which is why microwave ovens have glass doors. However, if the glass contains metal components, it may block the microwaves from passing through effectively.


Can electricety pass through Glass?

Glass is an insulator, but no material is a perfect insulator. At a high enough potential, electricity can in fact pass through glass.


How will we see through glass?

Why does UV light not pass through glass?

UV light does not pass through glass because the molecules in glass absorb and block the UV radiation, preventing it from passing through.
