Photons interact with an object by some combination of reflection, absorption and transmission. Some materials, such as plate glass and clean water, transmit much of the light that falls on them and reflect little of it; such materials are called optically transparent. Many liquids and aqueous solutions are highly transparent.
By using two parabolic cylindric mirrors and one plane mirror, the image of the background is directed around an object, making the object itself invisible - at least from two sides. Invisibility is the state of an object that cannot be seen. An object in this state is said to be invisible (literally, "not visible").
An opaque object is neither transparent (allowing all light to pass through) nor translucent (allowing some light to pass through). When light strikes an interface between two substances, in general, some may be reflected, some absorbed, some scattered, and the rest transmitted (also see refraction ).
Once the HTML or XHTML markup is delivered to a page-visitor's client browser, there is a chance that client-side code will need to navigate the internal structure (or Document Object Model) of the web page.
Incidentally, this also makes the objects completely transparent when the viewpoint camera is located inside them, because then all the surfaces of the object are facing away from the camera and are culled by the renderer. To prevent this the object must be set as double-sided (i.e. no back-face culling is done) or have separate inside surfaces.
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 ...
The only thing that the client can do with an object of such a type is to take its memory address, to produce an opaque pointer. If the information provided by the interface is sufficient to determine the type's size, then clients can declare variables , fields , and arrays of that type, assign their values, and possibly compare them for equality.
Some image formats, such as PNG and TIFF, also allow partial transparency through an alpha channel, which solves the edge limitation problem. Instead of each pixel either being transparent or not transparent, it can be set to 254 levels of partially transparent, allowing some of the background image to show through the foreground image.
