läpividiävä

Lappividiävä is a Finnish term that translates roughly to "transparent" or "see-through." It describes something that light can pass through to a degree that allows objects on the other side to be perceived. This property is not absolute; many materials that are considered lappividiävä may still scatter or distort light, making the objects on the other side appear blurry or warped.

Common examples of lappividiävä materials include glass, certain plastics, and thin ice. In contrast, opaque materials like wood or metal do not allow light to pass through, and thus are not lappividiävä. The degree of lappividiävä can vary significantly. For instance, a clean pane of glass is highly lappividiävä, allowing for clear vision. Frosted glass, while still allowing light to pass through, is less lappividiävä, obscuring clear visibility of objects behind it.

The concept of lappividiävä is important in various fields. In architecture and design, it influences the choice of windows, partitions, and decorative elements. In optics, the transparency of lenses and other optical components is crucial for their function. In everyday life, we encounter lappividiävä objects constantly, from drinking glasses to car windshields. The term emphasizes the ability to perceive through a substance rather than simply being illuminated by light passing through it.
