Why does light go through a window?

Light passes through a window because glass is a transparent material that allows certain wavelengths of light to transmit through it. When light strikes the glass, it is refracted, or bent, as it enters and exits the material, allowing it to continue traveling in a new direction. The atomic structure of the glass does not absorb visible light, which is why we can see through it. Additionally, the smooth surface of the glass minimizes scattering, further enabling light to pass through with clarity.
