What word is used for materials that light can pass through?
Transparent materials allow light to freely pass through them. Translucent materials also allow light to pass through them, but change the colour of the light.
What is traslucent opaque and transparent?
Opaque - light does not pass through. Transparent - all light passes through. Translucent - some light passes through.
Is sheer fabric translucent or transparent?
I think sheer fabric is transparent. Is you shine a flash light through it, it will not scatter. It is not opaque. Transparent: Lets all light thrown. Translucent: Lets some light but not all. Opaque: Lets no light in. -AGC
Why transparent object look transparent?
Because that object does not reflect light. So glass is transparent because light passes through it. Skin is transparent under X-rays because the skin cannot reflect the high energy Xrays.
What word describes an object that allows some light through?
Transparent objects allow the complete passage of light. No light goes through an opaque object. Between these two extremes, objects are said to be translucent.

How light is affected by a transparent object?
It isn't, unless the transparent object has shape. In that case, the light will be refracted.
What does to a transparent object do to light?
If it is perfectly transparent, nothing. It can refract and reflect the light. For example, a lens is made of glass which is transparent. The important properties are the refractive index of the material and the angle that light hits the object at.
Clear transparent opaque?
Clear and transparent are the synonymous. A transparent material allows light to pass through. Opaque, on the other hand, do not allow light to pass through
What is the base meaning of transparent?

What is traslucent opaque and transparent?
Opaque - light does not pass through. Transparent - all light passes through. Translucent - some light passes through.
What happens when light is directed at a transparent matrial?
It is refracted or 'bent' at the surface of the transparent material. (Obviously, to be directed at a transparent material the light must be travelling through a material that is at least partially transparent.) Please see the link.
Is sheer fabric translucent or transparent?

Why are Neptune's rings transparent?
They aren't transparent. They don't get enough light and they are hard to see, but they are there.
Why transparent object look transparent?
Because that object does not reflect light. So glass is transparent because light passes through it. Skin is transparent under X-rays because the skin cannot reflect the high energy Xrays.
What happens to light upon meeting opaque and transparent materials?
opaque material: some light will get reflected and some will get absorbed transparent material: light will go though it
What word describes an object that allows some light through?
