  2. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    When infrared light of these frequencies strikes an object, the energy is reflected or transmitted. If the object is transparent, then the light waves are passed on to neighboring atoms through the bulk of the material and re-emitted on the opposite side of the object. Such frequencies of light waves are said to be transmitted. [10] [11]

  3. Lippmann plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lippmann_plate

    The image is then viewed by illuminating the plate with light. This type of photography became known as interferential photography or interferometric colour photography and the results it produces are sometimes called direct photochromes , interference photochromes , or Lippmann photochromes (distinguished from the earlier so-called ...

  4. Zone plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_plate

    A zone plate consists of a set of concentric rings, known as Fresnel zones, which alternate between being opaque and transparent. Light hitting the zone plate will diffract around the opaque zones. The zones can be spaced so that the diffracted light constructively interferes at the desired focus, creating an image there.

  5. Overhead projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_projector

    This optical arrangement provides the instructor with a number of advantages, among which are: the projector may be placed in front of the class; the brilliant light permits excellent screen visibility without darkening a room; the instructor may place transparent images on the horizontal stage or diagram extemporaneously on it without turning ...

  6. See-through display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See-through_display

    Unlike transparent LCDs and OLEDs that requires integrated electronic modules to process visual signals or emit their own light, a passive transparent display uses a projector as the external light source to project images and videos onto a transparent medium embedded with resonance nanoparticles that selectively scatter the projected light. [21]

  7. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)

    Dispersive prisms are used to break up light into its constituent spectral colors because the refractive index depends on wavelength; the white light entering the prism is a mixture of different wavelengths, each of which gets bent slightly differently. Blue light is slowed more than red light and will therefore be bent more than red light.

  8. Chinese magic mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_magic_mirror

    In about 800 AD, during the Tang dynasty (618–907), a book entitled Record of Ancient Mirrors described the method of crafting solid bronze mirrors with decorations, written characters, or patterns on the reverse side that could cast these in a reflection on a nearby surface as light struck the front, polished side of the mirror; due to this seemingly transparent effect, they were called ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_glass

    Applied to the glass enclosure of a conference room. When the glass is transparent, one can see into or out of the room, and when it is non-transparent it can be used as a projection screen. Energy-saving function of glass curtain wall; Indoor decoration of residence: Lighting cover glass curtain, sunshine house, living room and bathroom ...
