Answer to Problem 1QAP

The desirable characteristics of glasses are explained below.

Explanation of Solution

Glasses are the non-crystalline materials that contain more percentage of silicon dioxide (SiO2) by volume. The desirable characteristics of glasses are listed below.

  1. 1. In general, the glasses are transparent that permit visible light to travel through it.
  2. 2. Comparatively they have good mechanical strengths.
  3. 3. The glasses are more resistant to chemicals.
  4. 4. The fabrication process of glasses are easy.
