MIRROR
Is it bad luck for a bird to fly into a window and die
Because it's fleeing from a predator, and don't realize that the glass is there..
The red cardinal may be seeing its reflection in the window and trying to defend its territory. To prevent this behavior, you can try covering the outside of the window with a transparent material such as plastic cling wrap or installing window decals to break up the reflection.
The glass snake, also known as the smooth snake (Ophisaurus ventralis), is a reptile that resembles a snake but is actually a legless lizard. It does not clean glass but rather burrows underground and feeds on insects and small invertebrates.
Birds do not understand glass. They either see a reflection, or they see through it. It's spring. Birds have returned to claim their breeding grounds. They will attack their own reflections in glass and mirrors, thinking that it's an intruder, particularly males who are establishing territories. Or, they see the reflection of the outdoors, or passage through the house, and fly right into the glass. This is called a window strike. There are two ways to stop window strikes and attacks. 1. Remove the optical illusion. Cover the window, open or close drapes, or use UV decals to remove or break up the reflection, or invisibility of the glass. If you can see a reflection - so can they.

Sun catchers, garden spinners, cds/pie tins hanging from fishing line, plastic owls or other decoy predators are all possible solutions.
No, a clear glass bottle is not opaque. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through, while clear glass bottles allow light to pass through easily.
yes
No, a clear glass bottle is transparent, allowing light to pass through and objects behind it to be seen. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them.
Opaque privacy glass is the best glass for bathroom windows. Block glass also works great depending on the window. If none of those work, a regular double paned window will suffice and then you can put window treatments in the window for privacy.
Great question! A mirror can be called as opaque. Because as a whole, it does not allow light to pass through it..Defn of opaque objects: Impervious to the rays of light.A mirror is actually a thin glass slab with its one side coated with silver. So when the rays fall on the mirror, it first falls on the upper face of the glass slab, gets refracted, travels through it, gets reflected by silver, travels back through glass slab, gets refracted at the upper glass-air interface and comes out.So here light actually "passes through" one of the parts of mirror- the glass slab(the other one being the silver coating).But when you say mirror, you consider the object as a whole and not by parts... AND as a whole it does not allow light to pass through it. Therefore, you can very well call it opaque!!
The only problem that I see, if it was meant to be opaque, is that you can't see through it, which defeats the purpose of a window. If you are trying to make/buy clear glass, impurities within the glass would not allow light to pass through as easily and I imagine that this might make the glass weaker and less useful.

The opposite word of opaque is transparent. Opaque = an object that cannot be seen through, for example: solid metal door. Transparent = and object that can be seen through, for example: clear glass window.
Yes. Go to any church to see partially opaque glass, and many vases are constructed of opaque glass.
The opposite of transparent (something that can be "seen-through") is opaque. A glass milk bottle is transparent. The milk is opaque. A plastic milk jug would be semi-transparent.
Typically "tinted glass" refers to glass with a window tinting film applied. Privacy glass, however, is when the actual glass itself is less transparent. There is no film on the surface, so it is much more durable and lasts as long as the glass doesn't get broken. Typically, privacy glass allows in very little light as a function of its purpose (to create privacy), but window tint can run a range from only slightly opaque to completely opaque.
A mirror is made out of glass. Since light doesn't travel through a mirror, it is opaque. On the back of a mirror is a thin layer of silver or chrome which is the reflecting surface. Behind this is backing which keeps the silver in place and keeps it from oxidizing.
