This thermal effect is called "temperature dependency" and prevents these devices from achieving true sunglass darkness in very hot weather. Conversely, photochromic lenses will get very dark in cold weather conditions. Once inside, away from the triggering UV light, the cold lenses take longer to regain their transparency than warm lenses.
A woman's eyeglasses are fogged up as she wears a face mask in cold, winter weather during the coronavirus pandemic. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) Nearly two years into the coronavirus pandemic and ...
If you're a glasses-wearer, you're familiar with the incompatibility of masks and spectacles. It comes down to one word, of course: fog. This problem is more than just an annoyance — foggy ...
Glass disease is caused by an inherent fault in the chemical composition of the original glass formula. [3] Glass contains three types of components: network formers establish basic structure, network stabilizers make glass strong and water resistant, and flux lowers the melting point at which the glass can be formed.

Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air.The measurement of turbidity is a key test of both water clarity and water quality.
Mist is a phenomenon caused by small droplets of water suspended in the cold air, usually by condensation. Physically, it is an example of a dispersion . It is most commonly seen where water vapor in warm, moist air meets sudden cooling, such as in exhaled air in the winter, or when throwing water onto the hot stove of a sauna .
A temperature differential may be created in many ways, including solar heating, space heating devices, fire, or hot and cold liquids. Sloping glass surfaces are subject to greater solar radiation than vertical surfaces and so are more prone to solar thermal fracture. In framed window glass, the edges are relatively cooler than the exposed ...
A dense fog blanketed portions of the Kansas City area Wednesday and continued into Thursday. The National Weather Service’s local office breaks down where the fog comes from and why it’s here ...
