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 absorb most of the light that strikes them?
yes it does
Why do light coloured objects reflect radiation more than dark coloured objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light, and energy;and its named absortion coefficient. ============================== Some substances and objects made from them reflect more light and absorb less. Other substances and objects made from them reflect less light and absorb more. The ones that reflect more and absorb less are the ones that appear lighter to us. Why ? Because they absorb less light and reflect more of it toward our eyes.
Do white clothes absorb less heat than black objects?
Yes absolutely that's why you wear black in the winter and white in summer
What colors do white objects absorb?
White is the resultant of all colors being reflected. White objects of course absorb some light but due reflect all the colors of the rainbow as we see them.
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.
Does light refract more when going through a thicker substance?
well three things happen when light strikes an object Refract Reflect absorb

What object does not reflect or absorb much light and you can see clearly through this type of object?
Such objects are said to be "transparent". Examples include things made of glass, some liquids such as water, and most gases.
Do white clothes absorb less heat than black objects?
Yes absolutely that's why you wear black in the winter and white in summer
Why is solar energy attracted to black objects?
Solar energy is not attracted to black objects. Black objects just absorb light rather than reflect it.
Do green plants reflect all colors of the spectrum?
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
What colors do white objects absorb?
White is the resultant of all colors being reflected. White objects of course absorb some light but due reflect all the colors of the rainbow as we see them.
What is a substance that dose not transmit light?
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.
