Question- What is Forensic Glass Examination?

Answer- 👉Forensic examination of glass consists of the examination of two or more fragments to determine whether they have a common origin. 

👉Identifying broken glass fragments having a common source to the exclusion of all other sources may only be done if they can be physically matched together.

Question- How will you analyse Glass fragments in lab?

Answer- 👉Submitted samples from a crime scene must first be confirmed as glass.  ✔Differentiating glass from plastic is done by examining hardness, solubility, and observation with a polarized light microscope.  ✔Once confirmed as glass, the examiner will perform an analysis of

📌physical properties, such as; color, fluorescence, thickness, curvature, density, 📌optical properties, such as; Refractive Index 📌and chemical composition. 

✔ no further comparison is needed if any difference between questioned and known samples is found during analysis.

Forensic physics is the application of physical principles to legal investigations, turning chaotic crime scenes into data-driven narratives. In hit-and-run cases, where there are often no witnesses and only a mess of evidence left on the road, these scientific methods become the primary tool for uncovering the truth. By examining skid marks, vehicle damage, and debris, experts can reconstruct the "tricky mystery" of an accident to determine what really happened. In this post, we will explore how forensic physics transforms the aftermath of a collision into a clear story, breaking down the technical steps in a way that is easy to understand—like we are chatting over coffee. We will keep the science simple while showing how it provides the evidence necessary to tip the scales of justice.
