The limit of ultraviolet transparency of glass, in the absence of metal ion impurities such as Fe3+ or Pb2+ is discussed in terms of how the glass composition drastically modifies the properties of the constituent oxygen atoms. Two distinct approaches are made, one based on band theory and the other on electronic polarisability.
