I'm confused with a simple physical explanation as to why glass is so transparent.
I would assume crystalline material would be 'more' transparent than glass since the lattice structure is ordered and light can pass through in an ordered manner.
Normal glass is an amorphous structure (random) and I would've thought light would get reflected at random clusters of the lattice. Yet its more transparent than a crystal.
