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.
What else can I help you with?
Is perspex a soft solid?
Perspex (PMMA) is not a soft solid.
What kind of charge is the cloth left with when rubbed against perspex?
The cloth is left with a negative charge when rubbed against perspex due to transfer of electrons from the perspex to the cloth.
Is perspex recyliable?

What is the density of perspex in kg-m3?
Relatively speaking perspex is more dence than water.
What is the critical angle of perspex and 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.
How to use the word 'Perspex' in a sentence?
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."
What is an example of the different materials that causes light to absorb reflect or transmit?
Glass, clear plastics, perspex, most gases
