With ur eyes : Well, yes, but..
Ok, to be a little more specific, you see opaque objects the same way you see any other object. Photons of light reflect off of the object in question, back to your retinas in the back of your eyes. They then activate the optic nerves using rod and cone cells to interpret black and white and color as well as the details of the object. These impulses then travel through the optic nerves to the optic lobe of your brain, which is located in the back of the brain. Neurotransmitters in the brain cells then give you an instant interpretation of what you are seeing in your conscious brain.

Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, so they block the path of light. This means that we are not able to see through them. Instead, we see these objects by the light that bounces off their surfaces and enters our eyes, which allows us to perceive their shape, color, and texture.

What happens to light energy when it is absorbed by an opaque object?
Since the object appears violet to your eye, it must be that violet light is the wavelength most efficiently reflected ... least efficiently absorbed ... by the object. To a greater or lesser degree, all wavelengths that are not reflected from the object are absorbed by it.
What is the properties of light causes eclipse?
The inability of light to pass through solid, opaque objects.
Is CD an opaque object?
no you cant see through itEdit (Wolf5370): Erm, the definition of opaque is that you can't see through it! So, yes a CD is mostly opaque (though the edges where ther film does nor reach is usually transparent - see through).
What is opaquee?
if you mean opaque, it is a translucent colour that you cannot really see through, as an example a pearl would be opaque

We need an source of light, an opaque object blocking the path of light, a screen behind the opaque object.
What process produces different colors we see in opaque objects?

Describe the difference between an opaque object and a transparent object?
The basic difference between an opaque and a transparent object is that we can see through the transparent objects while through the opaque objects, we cannot see.
Why you can see objects that are transparent translucent and opaque?
They are special.
What is a opaqueness?

What are opaque object?
There are 3 types of objects:1.TRANSPARENT OBJECTS:(have no shadow)it is the object that you can see clearly through .EX: water , gas2.SEMI-TRANSPARENT OBJECTS:can be seen through but not clear enough.3.OPAQUE OBJECTS:(have a shadow as light cannot pass through it but reflects)can't be seen through at all.

Are there any real see though hard object glasses?
Solid objects can be transparent (you can see easily through them like a cup), translucent (you can kind of see through it like a tinted window), or opaque (you can't see through it like a chair or a book). You can't see through opaque objects.
Are all light reflectors opaque?
are all opaque objects reflectors
What processes produce the different colors you see in opaque objects?
absorption and reflection of different wavelengths of light
