Glass reflects some of the light that hits it, absorbs some of the light
that enters it, but 'transmits' most of the light that hits it. That's why
you can see things through it pretty easily.

What materials only absorb and reflect light?

Opaque


Does an opaque object reflect the light it does not absorb?

true


What is a substance that dose not transmit light?

An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.


Does opaque light transmiss?

No, opaque objects do not transmit light. They absorb or reflect light, making them not transparent or translucent.


Do opaque objects transmit and reflect light?

Opaque objects do not transmit light, meaning light cannot pass through them. Instead, they reflect, absorb, or scatter light that strikes them, depending on their properties.


Do opaque object absorbs all the incident light on it?

Be careful not to confuse: Opaque objects are those that do not allow light to pass through it, but they can reflect light. It is BLACK objects that absorb all the incident light on it. To conclude, opaque objects do not necessarily absorb all the incident light on them but black objects ABSORB all the incident light on them (and are, of course, opaque)


What do you call it when light cant go through it?

An object that does not allow light to pass through it is called opaque. Opaque objects absorb or reflect light, preventing it from transmitting through them.


Why do opaque objects have color?

Opaque objects have color because they reflect and absorb certain wavelengths of light. The color we perceive is the result of the specific wavelengths being reflected back into our eyes. Materials absorb some wavelengths and reflect others, giving them their distinct color.


Does an opaque object reflect or absorb light?

An opaque object absorbs all the light that hits it. That's whythere's never any light left to come out of the other side.


Which term describes a material that does not allow light to be transmitted?

The term that describes a material that does not allow light to be transmitted is opaque. Opaque materials absorb or reflect light, preventing it from passing through them.


Does opaque material reflect light?

No, opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them, so they absorb or scatter light rather than reflecting it. Materials like wood, metal, and plastic are examples of opaque materials.


What is material that doesn't allow light to pass through?

My guess would be a wall. But, I'm not a Scientist. Hope this helped. I think the correct answer is OPAQUE. An opaque surface will reflect some of the light and absorb the rest, a reflective surface will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest, either will prevent light from passing through. A black hole will absorb all light and reflect nothing, this also prevents light passing through.
