Yes, as a matter of fact, there are several manufacturers that use wood veneers as shades for their lamps because of their light-scattering properties.

What happens to a beam of light if you put a piece of wood in front of it?
The wood will cast a shadow, as the light can not pass through wood.
Why do light waves scatter?
Each colour of light has a different wave length which are affected differently by refraction so they spread out and 'scatter'.
Does a translucent object let light pass through or does it scatter the light?
It scatters the light
What is the term for materials transmit and scatter light?
translucent
What is the term for materials that transmit scatter light?
translucent
Do suspensions scatter light?
Yes, colloids scatter light. Colloids are mechanical mixtures; all mechanical mixtures scatter light. Solutions are the only mixtures that do not scatter light. The scattering of light by mixtures is known as the Tyndall effect, btw.

What objects scatter light?
Any small slit will scatter light. Especially blue light.
Better reflector a piece of metal or a piece of wood?
piece of metal because most pieces have smooth surfaces so the light bounces off perfectly. but wood has a rough surface and wood also absorbs most of the light so it wouldn't reflect off.
Where do you plot most scatter plots?
a scatter plot is a piece of data that shows you how to make a prediction
Does a solution scatter light?
no
What is the term for materials that light and scatter light?
translucent
What is one property of a suspension that is different from that of a sulotion or a colloid?
they are able to scatter light
What would scatter light?
A prism
What is a mixture that does not scatter light?
its a solution
What mixtures will not scatter light?
sollution
