What makes an object transparent translucent or opaque?
The transparency, translucency, or opacity of an object depends on how much light it allows to pass through. Transparent objects allow almost all light to pass through, translucent objects allow some light to pass through but diffuses it, and opaque objects do not allow light to pass through at all. This is determined by the material's molecular structure and composition.
Nearly all the light that strikes an opaque object will pass through and cast a shadow?
No, opaque objects do not let light pass through them; rather, they absorb or reflect light. When opaque objects are struck by light, they block the light, causing a shadow to be cast behind them. Transparent objects, on the other hand, allow light to pass through them.
What word lets all light pass through?
The word you're looking for is "transparent." Objects that are transparent allow light to pass through them without scattering the light.
What type of objects allow all light to pass through?
Objects that let all light through are called transparent objects, like glass windows. Objects that only let some light through are called translucent, like a lamp shade, or a curtain. Objects that don't let any light through are called opaque, like a desk.
What word do you use for objects that do not let light pass through them?
Opaque is the term used to describe an object or substance that stops all light passing.
Whether or not an object is Translucent transparent or opaque is determined by its ability to what?
An object's ability to transmit light is what determines whether it is translucent, transparent, or opaque. Translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but they scatter it in different directions. Transparent objects allow light to pass through with minimal scattering. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through at all.
What is traslucent opaque and transparent?
Translucent materials allow some light to pass through but scatter it in different directions. Opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through. Transparent materials allow light to pass through with minimal scattering, allowing objects to be seen clearly through them.
Is oiled paper an opaque object?
Oiled paper is more translucent than opaque.
If the color white reflects all colors and black absorbs all what does it mean if something is clear?
If something is clear, the light simply passes through the object. If something is white the light is all reflected, black it is all absorbed, clear, it would pass through. (White) |<---> |<---> (Black) |<---- |<---- (Clear) <---|<--- <---|<---
When all light passes through a material what is it called?
When all light passes through a material, it is called transparent. This means that the material allows light to pass through with little or no distortion, making objects on the other side visible.
Is a book an translucent object?
A book isn't translucent, it's opaque.A transparent object allows most of the light to pass through it allowing us to see through clearly through it.A translucent object allows some of the light to pass through it allowing us to see through it to a limited extent.An opaque object allows no light to pass through it and does not allow us to see through it at all.
What are the difference between opaque transparent translucent?
Something that is opaque will prevent essentially all the light striking it from passing through it. Something that is transparent will permit essentially all the light that striks it to pass through it in a way that makes the objects on one side clearly visible from the other side. something that is translucent will let some of the light that strikes it pass through, but will also scatter the light to it is not possible to see object on the opposite side. Examples: Opaque - a solid brick wall Transparent - a pane of glass Translucent - the covering of a lighted sign that lets you see the light illuminating the letters and drawings, but does not let you seethe light bulbs that provide the light.
