Want this question answered?
Materials are classified into three catagories firstly opaque through which light can not pass,secondly transparent through which light can pass and lastly translucent through light light passes partially.
The type of light, the distance it has to travel and the substance that it passes through.
they turn in to light and go through three bones...
Three materials that reflect light are glass, any shiny surface, and concrete.
light hahahahha
......,
Transparent materials allow light to pass through, Opaque objects completely stop the passage of light, Reflecting surfaces will reflect the light, and translucent objects allow the light to pass, but in a diffuse manner.
Reflect Refract Transmit
their is sending somethingthere is getting from one place to anothertheir is also taking light to lots of places
IF you use LIGHT response as a measure of different kinds of material, there are only THREE types Opaque = Light cannot penetrate, or bounce from the material well. Variations on this include only certain KINDS of light can penetrate it. IE UV glass that passes Optical light, forbids UV light. Translucent = Allows the majority of light to pass through. glass is the obvious example, and cloudiness or coloration is the obvious exception. Refractive = Any material that allows SOME light to pass through, but alters it's direction, often in different responses to the FREQUENCY of the light it encounters. OF COURSE, many materials exhibit all three properties to some degree
There are three possible characteristics to a materials reflectivity, which are all due to the orientation of its molecules: Transparent - light travels through the material Reflective - light is redirected away from the material Opaque - light is absorbed by the material Foil absorbing light means it is opaque because that is the definition of the term.
transparent, translucent, and opaque. All 'materials' (i.e. made of matter) interact with em wave energy (which includes light). Humans can detect some but not all of those interactions.
