  2. Opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opacity

    Opacity is the measure of impenetrability to electromagnetic or other kinds of radiation, especially visible light. In radiative transfer , it describes the absorption and scattering of radiation in a medium , such as a plasma , dielectric , shielding material , glass, etc.

  3. Mathematical descriptions of opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    The wavelength is, by definition, =. For a given frequency, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is affected by the material in which it is propagating. The vacuum wavelength (the wavelength that a wave of this frequency would have if it were propagating in vacuum) is λ 0 = 2 π c ω , {\displaystyle \lambda _{0}={\frac {2\pi \mathrm {c ...

  4. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    (Refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a given medium. The refractive index of vacuum is therefore 1.) The larger the refractive index, the more slowly light travels in that medium. Typical values for core and cladding of an optical fiber are 1.48 and 1.46, respectively. [citation needed]

  5. Transparency (graphic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(graphic)

    An alternative model is that at every point in each element to be combined for transparency there is an associated color and opacity between 0 and 1. For each color channel, you might work with this model: if a channel with intensity G2 and opacity T2 overlays a channel with intensity G1 and opacity T1 the result will be a channel with ...

  6. Radiodensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiodensity

    Radiolucency or hypodensity indicates greater passage (greater transradiancy) to X-ray photons [1] and is the analogue of transparency and translucency with visible light. Materials that inhibit the passage of electromagnetic radiation are called radiodense or radiopaque , while those that allow radiation to pass more freely are referred to as ...

  7. Alpha compositing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_compositing

    A value of 1 means that the pixel is fully opaque. With the existence of an alpha channel, it is possible to express compositing image operations using a compositing algebra . For example, given two images A and B , the most common compositing operation is to combine the images so that A appears in the foreground and B appears in the background.

  8. Has DOGE Already Lost Its Way? - AOL

    The main problem in assessing the DOGE project at this point is that so much is unknown—and that much of that opacity seems to be intentional. ... by about $1 billion a day—though there is no ...

  9. Ringelmann scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringelmann_scale

    Ringelmann smoke charts, 1897. The Ringelmann scale is a scale for measuring the apparent density or opacity of smoke. [1] [2] It was developed by a French professor of agricultural engineering Maximilien Ringelmann of La Station d'Essais de Machines in Paris, who first specified the scale in 1888.
