When the path of light is blocked by an object what happens?
If the object is opaque to the frequency of light impinging on it, some of the light will be reflected and the rest will be converted to heat in the opaque object.
What does an opaque object do to the light?
An opaque object transmits very little light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs most of it.
What are materials called when they block the light?
Opaque.
What is formed when light is blocked by and opaque object?
A shadow is formed when light is blocked by an opaque object.
What shadow appears when light hits an opaque object?
An opaque shadow
How does a shadow appear?
What you need is a light source and an opaque object to block the light.
When light is bounced off an object it cannot pass through it is?
There are many objects that no light can pass through, although of course, it depends on what type of light you're talking about. The name of the type of object that visible light cannot pass through is called opaque.

How do you block visible light?
Visible light can be most effectively blocked using an opaque, dark-colored, solid object. A brick is only one example of an object that would qualify.
Is a book opaque object?
Yes. Opaque means you can not see any light through the object.
What is a substance that dose not transmit light?
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.
What are materials called when they block the light?
Opaque.

A shadow is formed when light is blocked by an opaque object.
What shadow appears when light hits an opaque object?
An opaque shadow
What is it called when light hits an object and some light goes through and some dont what is it called when the light does not go through the block?
Transparent = light goes through the object (like glass). Translucent = some light goes through the block but there is sufficient diffusion to prevent perception of distinct images. Opaque = No light can get through the object.
Can you see through a opaque object?
No, that is what opaque means. Light does not go through an opaque object. An object that is translucent will allow light through, but is opaque enough to keep you from seeing clearly through it (think about frosted glass used for bathroom windows). Transparent is "see through".
