This means pure diamond should transmit visible light and appear as a clear colorless crystal.

But most headlights are still of the old-fashioned variety and do not even transmit as much light as the Government standards allow.

The building's size created a need to transmit natural light throughout the interior.

Its core has a high refractive index, used for transmitting light.

However, large clouds can affect a diamond's ability to transmit and scatter light.

These segments can either transmit or block light.

It was still attached to the rest of the time machine, but attached along a direction that did not transmit light.

Technology General Electric has created a form of diamond with an enhanced ability to transmit heat and light.

At night, the stone panels transmit light from the interior, giving the exterior of the building an amber glow.

In contrast, polycrystalline materials do not in general transmit visible light.

Photons are a type of boson that transmit light and facilitate the electromagnetic force.

The scope screen would not transmit more light than human eyes could bear, but there was a dial to register the light falling on the scope.

Rayleigh tested some old, slightly tarnished pieces of glass, and found to his surprise that they transmitted more light than new, clean pieces.

He found that old, slightly tarnished pieces of glass transmitted more light than new, clean pieces due to this effect.

Photosensitive films have been developed that are pigmented to prevent weed growth, but still transmit light to heat the soil.

A cover that transmits more light (90 to 95 percent) would be better, such as polypropylene netting.

A fast lens transmits more light and has a larger opening than a slow lens.

But their use of fiber optics technology, which transmits light much as wires conduct electricity, clearly places them on the cusp of the 21st century.

Dull surfaces reflect more light while bright tends to transmit light and make the fiber more transparent.

When they drilled a regular array of small holes in this material, they found that it transmitted less light than before.
