Why do transparent objects not reflect light?
They do, to a small extent, but they transmit most of it.
What is the term for materials transmit and scatter light?
translucent
What is the term for materials that transmit scatter light?
translucent
Does suspension scatter light?
Yes, it will. Light will reflect off of the particles suspended in the solution.
Will light scatter or reflect off of a frosted glass wondow?
It will do both.
Why do different elements have different colors?
The color of objects is determined by their ability to reflect, absorb, scatter or transmit light and also by the anatomy& physiology of the eye and brain.
Why do transparent objects not reflect light?
They do, to a small extent, but they transmit most of it.
What is a substance that dose not transmit light?
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.
Why objects may not shine with their own light but are still visible?
They reflect and scatter visible light that comes from an external source.
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.

What objects scatter light?
Any small slit will scatter light. Especially blue light.
Does suspension scatter light?
Yes, it will. Light will reflect off of the particles suspended in the solution.

It will do both.
What is a homogeneous mixture whose particles are too small to reflect or scatter light?
A solution is a homogeneous mixture whose particles are too small to reflect or scatter light. A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture containing particles that are small enough to stay suspended but large enough to scatter light.
Do only shiny objects reflect light?
No, everything that we can see (besides objects the produce light eg sun, light bulb) reflect light. If it didn't reflect light we would not be able to see it.
