What is a substance that dose not transmit light?
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.
Matter can absorb and reflect light?
Yes. Matter may also transmit light through it.
Does a cloud reflect light?
Yes, a cloud reflects light, otherwise you couldn't see it. White clouds reflect a lot of light and dark clouds reflect less. They also transmit light, or else it would go completely dark when it's overcast.
Does red glass only reflect and transmit red light waves?
No, red glass does not only reflect and transmit red light waves. It actually transmits the white light waves through the red glass creating a red glow. A transparent object generally transmits light while a solid object reflects light.

The colour an object appears to be is the colour of the light it is reflecting.
Which substance is one which absorbs or reflects any light that strikes it?
All substances absorb and reflect light to varying degrees. Some also transmit light.
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.
Are there three things that can happen when light travels from one material to another?
Reflect Refract Transmit
