Thread Name: BS: Reflection & the behaviour of light
Subject: RE: BS: Reflection & the behaviour of light
The thing about the behaviour of light that puzzles me is how does it travel through clear solids like glass and not through others like steel. The first thought is that it is something to do with crytal structure but I thought that glass was not a crystal but an amorphous super-cooled liquid. The second thought is that perspex is not a supercooled-liquid.
Confused!
