Fused silica is used for ultraviolet radiation.

For the visible spectrum some types of glasses are more dispersive - this means that the refractive index is more dependent on the wavelength of a radiation.

Is glass man made or natural?

Glass is comprised of silica, which makes up approximately 15% of our planet. Glass occurs naturally wherever silica is heated to very high temperatures, such as a creator. Glass can be produced naturally, but the glass used today is manufactured the same way mother nature would. Heating silica until it melts, and allowing it to cool. The only difference is, people give it shapes that are not naturally found. Glass can be found naturally found in Obsidian. Found near lava different materials melt and form Obsidian


In which of the following materials is the velocity of light greatest A Air B Water C Crown glass D Fused quartz?

The velocity of light is greatest in fused quartz. The speed of light varies depending on the medium it travels through, with the highest speed occurring in materials that have low refractive indexes, such as fused quartz.


Which is a better conductor glass or plastic?

Glass is a better insulator than plastic. Plastic is used on wire for insulation purposes because of its flexibility, where as glass is not. Glass is used as insulators for holding wires to cross arms on power poles as plastic would not stand up to the weather year after year.


What is density of laminated glass?

The density of laminated glass typically ranges from 2.47 to 2.55 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), depending on the specific configuration and materials used in its construction.


Is glass a better conductor of heat than water?

No, water is a better conductor of heat than glass. Water has a higher thermal conductivity, allowing it to transfer heat more efficiently than glass. Glass is a relatively poor conductor of heat compared to water.

How can you melt fused silica?

Fused silica has 2 meanings: previously fused silica and presently fused silica. Previously fused silica is fused by heating it to its melting point. This can be done in crucible in a furnace. Presently fused silica is already hot and fused. Note: melted silica is probably a conductor, at least melted glass is a conductor.
