👉 The term "gleamless" is used in the field of optics to describe a condition where light rays are bent or reflected so that they do not intersect each other. In physics, it refers to a phenomenon in which certain types of light are refracted (reflected) when they pass through an object with very small thicknesses. This occurs because the light rays are bent by the material's own curvature and do not interfere with themselves. For example, if you shine a bright light into a
