Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glass is transparent to wave frequencies that are below its natural frequencies. This means that visible light, which has a frequency below the natural frequencies of glass, can pass through it and result in transparency. However, if the frequency of the wave matches or exceeds the natural frequencies of the glass, the wave will either be absorbed or reflected, resulting in opacity.
