Stained glass is an example of
a. a transparent material.
b. a translucent material.
c. an opaque material.
d. none of the above.
The correct option.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The correct option is “a. a transparent material”.
Explanation of Solution
Stained glasses refer to the colored glasses used in churches to decorate. Such glasses have colors added to them keeping the transparency property intact.
So, the stained glass is an example of a transparent material and option ‘a’ is correct.
Stained glass is transparent material, so the option ‘b’ is incorrect which states that it is a translucent material. Option ‘c’ is incorrect which states that stained glass is a opaque material.
Since the option ‘a’ is correct, the option none of the above is not possible. Hence, option ‘d’ is incorrect.
Conclusion:
Thus, the correct option is ‘a’.
