What frequencies of visible light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears purple?

If the glass appears purple, it means it is absorbing most of the green, yellow, and red light frequencies. This leaves mainly blue and red light to be transmitted through the glass, giving it a purple appearance.


When light goes into a glass block most is transmitted some does not what happens to it?

When light enters a glass block, some of it is reflected back, some is transmitted through the glass, and some is absorbed by the glass and converted into heat. The amount that is reflected, transmitted, and absorbed depends on the angle of incidence and the properties of the glass block.


What happens to light when it strikes clear glass?

When light strikes clear glass, most of it is transmitted through the material, allowing you to see through the glass. Some light is also reflected off the surface of the glass. The amount of light that is transmitted versus reflected depends on the angle of incidence and the refractive index of the glass.


How is natural light transmitted?

Natural light is transmitted through various mediums, primarily air, water, and glass. When light travels, it can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed depending on the material it encounters. In clear mediums, such as glass or clean water, light passes through with minimal scattering, allowing it to reach its destination. Factors like the angle of incidence and the properties of the medium affect how efficiently light is transmitted.


What frequencies of visible light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears clear?

It really depends on the type of glass. "Glass" is a more or less generic name for different substances that look transparent for us. The normal glass is mainly transparent for visible light; it will absorb both most ultraviolet light, and most infrared light.

How is a message transmitted thru a glass fiber?

It's send in the form of a laser beam - which reflects internally.


Which electromagnetic radiations can be transmitted through an optical fiber?

Electromagnetic radiations in the visible spectrum, such as infrared, visible light, and near-ultraviolet, can be transmitted through an optical fiber. These wavelengths are compatible with the glass or plastic material of the fiber and capable of traveling long distances with minimal loss.


What color light is transmitted through a piece of red glass?

The color of light that is transmitted through a piece of red glass is red.


Why do signals in the fiber optics cables travel at the speed of light?

fiber optics transfer data at the speed of light because that's exactly what is transmitted through them... light. fiber optic cables are thin pieces of glass that transmit light pulses


Is optical fiber ihollow or not?

The main part of an optical fiber is a glass fiber (NOT hollow) within another glass fiber of another type of glass. Both types of glass have a different index of refraction; the signal travels through the inner glass fiber.


Light travels through a thin glass fiber?

Is light transmitted through frosted glass?

Yes, light is transmitted through frosted glass, but it is diffused or scattered due to the rough surface of the glass. This creates a more softened and less distinct light compared to clear glass.


What color light is transmitted through blue glass?

Blue light. That's why the glass is called blue.


What is matter through which visible light is easily transmitted?

Glass?


What happens when you shine a light at a glass block?

When light is shined at a glass block, some of the light is transmitted through the block, some is reflected, and some is absorbed. The transmitted light changes its direction due to refraction as it passes through the glass block.


What will happen when light hits a glass box?

When light hits a glass box, some of it will be transmitted through the glass, some will be reflected off the surface of the glass, and some will be absorbed by the glass. The amount of light that is transmitted, reflected, and absorbed depends on the properties of the glass, such as its thickness and composition.


When light goes through a glass window the light is primarily?

When light goes through a glass window, it is primarily transmitted, refracted, and reflected. Glass allows most of the light to pass through (transmitted), while some of the light can be bent (refracted) as it enters and exits the glass. Additionally, a small portion of the light can be reflected off the surface of the glass.
