Home Experiment: Tape Makes Frosted Glass Clear
Posted on July 22, 2009 Comments (0)
Interesting result. A comment on Reddit seems plausible to me:
The surface of frosted glass is etched so that it scatters light when it hits this rough surface. The glue on the tape fills in any irregularities, letting the light pass through with much less scatterring (notice, the image is still not perfect).
Additional experimenting could include, what the view is like from the other side of the glass. What the view is like if you also put tape on the other side of the glass.
