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)


Why do transparent objects not reflect light?

They do, to a small extent, but they transmit most of it.

How do transparent translucent and opaque objects affect light?

transparent and translucent objects are the objects that let the light pass through them eg glass, but sometimes translucent objects are colorful so they change the color of the light as it passes through them opaque objects can either absorb the light, like dark material, or reflect, like a mirror.

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 colors of light are reflected by opaque white object?

Since it appears green in white light, it reflects the green part of the spectrum, absorbing all the other colors. In red light, it would not reflect any color, thus appearing black. Opaque objects absorb some of the light, and reflect the rest.
