Objects that transmit light easily are?
TRANSPARENT :) it means see through
Why do transparent objects not reflect light?
They do, to a small extent, but they transmit most of it.
What gives an object its colour?
All objects absorb, reflect, and/or transmit light of specific colors. Generally, we cannot see absorbed light, but we can see reflected and transmitted light, and it is this selectivity of which colors are reflected or transmitted that give objects their color..A green sofa, for example, absorbs all colors exceptgreen, which it reflects. When white light strikes the sofa, only the green component of the white light reflects off the sofa, and so we observe that the sofa is green..Similarly, if we were to put a red filter over a traffic light, the filter will absorb all colors except red, and it will allow only red light to pass through the filter. So when that specific traffic light is energized, we see only red light..Some objects, such as glass and air, transmit all visible colors - that is, clear glass and air are transparent to all visible colors. We would categorize such items as colorless.
Do opaque object absorbs all the incident light on it?
Be careful not to confuse: Opaque objects are those that do not allow light to pass through it, but they can reflect light. It is BLACK objects that absorb all the incident light on it. To conclude, opaque objects do not necessarily absorb all the incident light on them but black objects ABSORB all the incident light on them (and are, of course, opaque)
What are materials that transmit some light?
The word for materials that transmit some light is translucent.
Which object transmits light?
Objects that transmit lit are?
Do transparent objects reflect light?
No, a transparent object would totally transmit all light through it. However there are no transparent objects, and objects which we think of as being transparent are in fact translucent. All objects absorb at least some light. Glass for instance will transmit about 90% or so of visible light and reflect the rest. A transparent object will invariably have edges. Those edges are typically polished to facilitate transmission. A polished surface will always reflect some light.

What is a substance that dose not transmit light?
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.
How is an opaque object different from a translucent object in terms of its ability to transmit light?
Opaque objects don't allow light to pass through them while translucent objects slow the passage of light but ultimately allow it to pass through.
when light passes stright through an object, that object is called?
When light passes through an object, we say it is transmitted. Transparent objects transmit a lot of light. basically it is called shadow

Why cant you see your reflection in all objects that replect light?
You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.
What are materials that transmit some light?
The word for materials that transmit some light is translucent.
A material that transmit nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is?
transparent
