How can I see myself as semi-transparent in a window and still see what is behind it?
In: Physics
Light comes from the sun and bounces off the things you can see outside, continuing onto your eyes through the glass so you can see it. Some of that light bounces off your face back onto the glass where it’s reflected again, back into your eyes so you can see it.
Each time the light bounces what you see gets dimmer, so the dim reflected light off you isn’t enough to ‘down out’ the image from outside. If you were inside with the light on, and it was dark outside, then the reflection might be enough to overpower the image from outside.
