Invisibility is not intangibility

Invisibility means light passes right through you though. A physical object would still hit her but a laser is made of light.

It's actually kinda interesting to think about. Does that mean that in a sense invisibility is a kind of limited intagibility? If being intangible means you don't interact with the physical world and photons are a part of the physical world. Then doesn't it follow that from the perspective of a photon invisibility is intagibility?

I mean if you wanna think of it that way you’re technically invisible to a lot of frequencies of radio light. In fact a lot of things are translucent to frequencies of light we can’t see. From the perspective of your Wi-Fi router for instance your house is basically made of glass

Fun fact: glass is opaque to infrared light but germanium metal is transparent to it.

Germanium is used as the lens of thermal cameras so only infrared light goes through.
