Yes please.Ibix said:You mean a solid? Some plastics can transmit both, I gather. Googling "UV transparent glass" turned up some hits. Why do you want to know?

Can visible light pass through quartz as well?hutchphd said:Quartz
Is there a way to not have the coating?sysprog said:Ordinary window glass passes UV. Such glass requires a special coating to block UV.

How hard is that?
Information searches are an acquired skill. It's one of the things that PF can help with.hutchphd said:How hard is that?
The material that allows both visible light and UV light to pass through is called a transparent material. Examples include glass, certain plastics, and water.
This is due to the molecular structure of the material. Transparent materials have molecules that are arranged in a way that allows light to pass through without being absorbed or scattered.
Yes, there are natural materials that are transparent and allow both visible light and UV light to pass through. Examples include air, water, and certain gemstones like diamonds.
It is possible to make certain materials transparent to both visible light and UV light through processes like doping or coating. However, not all materials can be made transparent due to their molecular structure.
Transparent materials have a wide range of applications, including in windows, lenses, solar panels, and electronic screens. They are also used in UV sterilization and medical treatments.
