  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. Opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opacity

    An opaque substance transmits no light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs all of it. 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 opacity, transparency and ...

  4. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    A transparent object allows light to transmit or pass through. Conversely, an opaque object does not allow light to transmit through and instead reflecting or absorbing the light it receives. Most objects do not reflect or transmit light specularly and to some degree scatters the incoming light, which is called glossiness .

  5. Blend modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blend_modes

    This is the standard blend mode which uses the top layer alone, [3] without mixing its colors with the layer beneath it: [example needed] (,) =where a is the value of a color channel in the underlying layer, and b is that of the corresponding channel of the upper layer.

  6. Transparency (graphic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(graphic)

    The color at a point, where color G1 and G2 are to be combined, is ( G1 + G2 ) / 2. Some consequences of this are: Where the colors are equal, the result is the same color because ( G1 + G1 ) /2 = G1. Where one color (G1) is white (0.0), the result is G2 / 2. This will always be less than any nonzero value of G2, so the result is whiter than G2.

  7. Black-body radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

    Color of a black body from 800 K to 12200 K. This range of colors approximates the range of colors of stars of different temperatures, as seen or photographed in the night sky. Conversely, all normal matter absorbs electromagnetic radiation to some degree. An object that absorbs all radiation falling on it, at all wavelengths, is called a black ...

  8. Interference colour chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_colour_chart

    When using the chart, it is important to remember these tips: Isotropic and opaque (metallic) minerals cannot be identified this way. The stage of the microscope should be rotated until maximum colour is found, and therefore, the maximum birefringence. Each mineral, depending on the orientation, may not exhibit the maximum birefringence.

  9. Color chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_chart

    Color chips or color samples from a plastic pellet manufacturer that enables customers to evaluate the color range as molded objects to see final effects. A color chart or color reference card is a flat, physical object that has many different color samples present. They can be available as a single-page chart, or in the form of swatchbooks or ...
