  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. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    The opposite property of translucency is opacity. Other categories of visual appearance, related to the perception of regular or diffuse reflection and transmission of light, have been organized under the concept of cesia in an order system with three variables, including transparency, translucency and opacity among the involved aspects.

  4. Mathematical descriptions of opacity - Wikipedia

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

    An electromagnetic wave propagating in the +z-direction is conventionally described by the equation: (,) = ⁡ [()], where E 0 is a vector in the x-y plane, with the units of an electric field (the vector is in general a complex vector, to allow for all possible polarizations and phases);

  5. Kramers' opacity law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kramers'_opacity_law

    Kramers' opacity law describes the opacity of a medium in terms of the ambient density and temperature, assuming that the opacity is dominated by bound-free absorption (the absorption of light during ionization of a bound electron) or free-free absorption (the absorption of light when scattering a free ion, also called bremsstrahlung). [1]

  6. Optical window - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_window

    Rough plot of Earth's atmospheric transmittance (or opacity) to various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light.. The optical window is the portion of the optical spectrum that is not blocked by the Earth's atmosphere.

  7. Radiodensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiodensity

    Radiodensity (or radiopacity) is opacity to the radio wave and X-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum: that is, the relative inability of those kinds of electromagnetic radiation to pass through a particular material.

  8. Has DOGE Already Lost Its Way? - AOL

    www.aol.com/news/doge-already-lost-way-133007005...

    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. Even the most basic things like the legal limits of ...

  9. Blend modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blend_modes

    The dissolve mode takes random pixels from both layers. With top layer opacity greater than that of the bottom layer, most pixels are taken from the top layer, while with low opacity most pixels are taken from the bottom layer. No anti-aliasing is used with this blend mode, so the pictures may look grainy and harsh.
