What is Glass?
• Glass is a hard, amorphous material made by
melting sand (silicon dioxide), lime (Calcium oxide)
and sodium oxide at very high temperatures.
• Sodium oxide is added to reduce the melting point
of sand.
• Calcium oxide is added to prevent glass from being
soluble in water.
SiO2 + CaO + Na2O  (melt, high temp)  Glass
Glass is called an amorphous solid because its
atoms are arranged in a random fashion. Because of
its irregular atomic structure, when glass is broken,
it produces a variety of fracture patterns.
Properties of glass that are used in
forensic investigations
• Density
Density = mass/volume
Unit: g/mL
• Refractive Index (µ):
It is a measure of how light bends as it passes
from one medium to another.
µ = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium
(medium = glass)
Microscopic Determination of
Refractive Index of Glass
• Place the glass on a slide surrounded by a liquid
of known refractive index.
• Place the slide on the microscopic stage and focus
the lens.
i) If the glass seems to disappear, then the glass
and the liquid have the same refractive index.
ii) If the glass seems visible, then the glass and the
surrounding medium have different refractive
indices.
• Look for Becke Lines.
• Becke Lines:
When the refractive index of the glass is
different from the refractive index of the
medium, then a halo-like ring appears on the
edge of the glass. This halo-like effect is called
a Becke Line.
The Becke Line is located in the medium that
has a higher refractive index.
Info obtained from Becke Line
• If the Becke Line is located inside the
perimeter of the glass, then the refractive
index of the glass is higher than the refractive
index of the surrounding medium.
• If the Becke Line is located on the outside the
perimeter of the glass, then the refractive
index of the surrounding medium is higher
than the refractive index of glass.
