What´s glass feature (molecular structure) that allow the visible light bypass it ?

Thanks.
Glass transparency is the property of a material that allows visible light to pass through it without being scattered or absorbed.
Glass is composed of molecules that are arranged in a regular pattern, allowing light waves to pass through with minimal interference.
No, the level of transparency in glass can vary depending on factors such as the composition, thickness, and manufacturing process.
Yes, certain coatings or treatments can be applied to glass to alter its transparency, such as tinting or frosted finishes. Additionally, impurities or defects in the glass can also affect its transparency.
No, other materials such as plastics, crystals, and water can also exhibit transparency to different degrees.
