What will light not travel through?
A material through which light (or a certain color of light) won't pass through is said to be OPAQUE for light (or for that color of light). Most materials around us are opaque for visible light; only a few materials, such as air and other gases, water, and glass, are transparent, meaning they do let light through.
How can two polarizing block all light passing through them?
Polarizing materials block light except in a specific direction. Two of these materials in opposite directions let no light through (it is absorbed).
What is difference between transperent and translucent materials?
Transparent materials allow almost all light to pass through (example glass) while translucent materials only allow some light to pass through them (example filter paper).
Three types of materials that interact with light?
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.
What are some materials that do NOT reflect light?
All materials reflect light to some extent. Those which reflect it least have matte black surfaces, so this is often a function of how the substance is prepared rather than what it's made of.

Why does drawing the curtain make it dark in the room?
Light can pass through some materials. An example of a material like this would be glass. It cant go through all materials. When materials let light through, we call that transparency.
What materials reflect all light?
All materials reflect light. if u can see it then the light refelcts off that and into ur eyes
Materials for does light effect the rate at which foods spoil?
there are no materials except light and food that is all.
What are the different kinds of materials base on light?
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
What are some materials that are reflective?
all materials reflect light, which makes color but more atomically dense materials reflect light better
What the meaning of materials?
example: tracing paper. translucent materials let some light through but not all of it
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.

Polarizing materials block light except in a specific direction. Two of these materials in opposite directions let no light through (it is absorbed).
X-ray can take pictures of your bones but visible light cannot explain why?
X rays are of a much higher energy than visible light, so they have more penetrating power. So they can easily penetrate tissue, but they penetrate bones less well, and most metals almost not at all.
What materials were originally used to make the airplane?
Men tried all kinds of materials, but the first aircraft that flew were all built of light, strong wood covered with very light fabric, (usually muslin).
What material are sarongs made of?
The materials that sarongs are made of are Rayon, Chiffon, and cotton. These materials used are all light weight .
