What makes glass clear?

Hi !!!





Please go through the article ';What makes glass transparent?'; on ';www.howstuffworks.com';





Here %26gt;%26gt; http://science.howstuffworks.com/questio鈥?/a>





I would like you to go through this article too with molecular arrangements explained. ';Is glass liquid or solid?';

I hope this answers your query.

The chemical bonds in clear glass don't absorb any visible light (but e.g. are opaque for infrared). It appears clear when it has a smooth surface, and opaque when the surface is roughened (e.g. etched). A wide range of crystals are as clear as glass, for the same reasons under the same circumstances.What makes glass clear?
there are three kinds of glass- transparent, translucent, and opaque. if you are talking about the transparent glass as clear, it is because no opaque particulates is mixed with the transparent glass during manufacturing processess or the molecules of the manufactured glass are very much randomized providing mini windows for light to pass
