  2. Cornea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornea

    The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. Along with the anterior chamber and lens, the cornea refracts light, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power. [1] [2] In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres. [3]

  3. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

    Thermally processed material is usually totally amorphous, [7] and as a result is highly transparent to visible light, with better light transmission than many kinds of glass. Polycarbonate has a glass transition temperature of about 147 °C (297 °F), [ 8 ] so it softens gradually above this point and flows above about 155 °C (311 °F). [ 9 ]

    Polystyrene is naturally transparent, but can be colored with colorants. Uses include protective packaging (such as packing peanuts and optical disc jewel cases), containers, lids, bottles, trays, tumblers, disposable cutlery, [6] in the making of models, and as an alternative material for phonograph records. [8]

  9. Opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opacity

    For instance, some kinds of glass, while transparent in the visual range, are largely opaque to ultraviolet light. More extreme frequency-dependence is visible in the absorption lines of cold gases. Opacity can be quantified in many ways; for example, see the article mathematical descriptions of opacity.
