2. In the field of mineralogy, fracture is the texture and shape of a rock’s surface formed when a mineral is fractured. Minerals often have a highly distinctive fracture, making it a principal feature used in their identification.
3. The Mohs scale of mineral hardness is a qualitative ordinal scale, from 1 to 10, characterizing the scratch resistance of minerals through the ability of harder material to scratch softer material.
4.In the field of optics, transparency is the physical property of allowing light to pass through the material without appreciable scattering of light. On a macroscopic scale, the photons can be said to follow Snell’s law. Translucency allows light to pass through but does not necessarily follow Snell’s law.
