What are some ways in which materials affect how light is transmitted?

How much light a material absorbs or lets through depends mainly on what kind of material it is. Usually pure substances will not absorb light but rather lets light through or reflects light. Exceptions include carbon, uranium and others. The exact theory goes into detail in how electrons absorb that energy and move to a higher orbital but generally, a material will let light through if the electrons require excessive energy to jump to a higher orbital.

What material transmits and scatters light?
Translucent materials transmit some light and scatter some as well.
Does the color of light affect the growth of mongo plant?
Yes, the color of light affect the growth of the mongo and any other green plant. This is because some colors of the light, e.g. blue light, do not support photosynthesis.
What are some enviornmental influences that affect normal cellular function?
Drugs, chemicals, temperature, and light.
When light goes into a glass block most is transmitted some does not what happens to it?
Because some rays are reflected or absorbed by the material.
What are phosphorescent materials?
These materials absorb light energy in the day and they are able to give off this energy in the dark or at night. Some examples of these materials are glow in the dark stickers, glow in the dark watches and glow in the dark bouncy balls.
What are materials that transmit some light?
The word for materials that transmit some light is translucent.
Does kissing on lips affect pregnancy?
Not unless a illness is transmitted. Some illnesses can also affect the fetus.
What are some materials that are reflective?
all materials reflect light, which makes color but more atomically dense materials reflect light better
When light hits an object it may be?
transmitted, absorbed, reflected, or some combination of these processes
What term defines some light passing through?
Translucent materials allow some light to pass through. Transparent materials allow most or all light to pass through.
What are the best materials for a deck ?
The best materials are a light wood that is light and can easily be shined. Some examples are maple, red oak and knotty pine.
What the meaning of materials?
example: tracing paper. translucent materials let some light through but not all of it
Do translucent materials absorb light?
Yes, they only allow some of light to pass through them.
Why do some materials glow in ultraviolet - UV - light?
UV light is invisible to the human eye, which is why it is sometimes referred to as 'black light'. However, some materials (e.g. DayGlo) can absorb UV energy and convert it into visible light energy. They are said to be fluorescent.
5 examples of translucent?
Translucent materials do not preserve the qualities and details of light passing through them. Thin eggshells are translucent, as is baking paper, tracing paper, frosted glass, and some plastic films.
Does a translucent material scatter light waves as the pass through it?
Translucent (sort of milky) materials scatter light in a random fashion as the light passes through them. There can be some scattering even in transparent materials (few materials are totally transparent!)
Materials that some light can pass through are called?
Translucent
