Insulators are transparent because they have a wide energy band gap that does not allow electrons to move freely and absorb light. When light passes through an insulator, it interacts with the atoms in a way that does not result in the absorption of photons, thus allowing light to transmit through the material.

What is the part of speech for insulators?
The word "insulators" functions as a noun. It refers to materials or substances that do not conduct electricity or heat effectively.
Clear glass water and air are examples of what kind of material?
Transparent materials.
What are some insulators and conductors?
Insulators: rubber, plastic, glass. Conductors: copper, aluminum, gold.
What is the name for materials that do not allow heat to pass?
Materials that do not allow heat to pass are insulators. (In real life, there are no perfect insulators, but if not much heat passes, then it is an insulator.)
How is sound insulator similar to and different from a heat insulator?
Sound insulators are similar to heat insulators in that they both aim to reduce the transfer of energy, but they work in different ways. Sound insulators absorb and dampen sound vibrations, while heat insulators reduce the transfer of heat through conduction, convection, or radiation. Materials that are good sound insulators may not necessarily be good heat insulators and vice versa.
Are Crayons insulators or conductors?
insulators
What do you call poor conductors?
Poor conductors of electricity are often referred to as insulators. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity due to their molecular structure, which makes them unable to conduct electricity efficiently. Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, and glass.
Is a mirror surface is transparent translucent or a opaque?
Transparent
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!
What will not carry electricity?
insulators. All the insulators. Like fabrics
What is the population of NGK Insulators?
NGK Insulators's population is 3,272.
What is transparent in French?
"Transparent" in French is "transparent".
Why are plastic good electricity insulators?
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
Why are insulators important in conserving energy?
because insulators are protection for energy
What is wood and plastic are examples of?
conduction or insulators. i would pick insulators.
What type of cups are better insulators?
styrofoam cups are great insulators.
Substances through which charges have difficulty moving are called?
Insulators.
