There are few electrons in shells (electron shells are energy levels) that scatter photons in transparent matter, In metals there are many so metals are opaque and they also can reflect light (the photons "bounce" off the metal surface).

Matter can absorb and reflect light?
Yes. Matter may also transmit light through it.
Which term describes matter that scatters light allowing only a part of the light rays to transmit through?
translucent
Can you transmit electricity through light?
No.
Matter that does not transmit any light is what?
Opaque Materials, such as wood or steel, do not transmit light, accept in the case of a few Physicists, today, claiming that they have, in fact, transmitted light rays through different "holes" in different kinds of opaque materials.
Objects that transmit light easily are?
TRANSPARENT :) it means see through

Matter that does not transmit any light is?
Opaque
Can you transmit electricity through light?
No.
What is the matter that doesnt transmit any light?
Dark Matter throughout the Universe does not give off or absorb light.
What is transmitting light?
Light is said to be transmitting when it is passing through any matter i.e. not through a vacuum but through a gas, liquid or solid. Light waves move at their highest speed when passing through a vacuum and slow down when passing through matter due to their interaction with the electrons around atoms, molecules or crystal lattices. Optical fibres made of special types of glass are used to transmit light signals in a similar way to copper wires used to transmit electrical signals.

What describes matter that transmits light but that but does not transmit an image?
transparent or translucent
Can alternating current be transmitted through fiber optic cable?
No. Nor can direct current, for that matter. Fiber optics is designed to transmit light signals, not electrical currents.
Can you transmit light through a nontransparent medium?
if it is translucent, yes if it is opaque, no
Objects that transmit light easily are?
TRANSPARENT :) it means see through
