What do you call something that blocks light?
OPAQUE is the word that describes an object or substance that blocks light (or other energy form). TRANSLUCENT describes objects that allow transmission of light, but scatter it from the original form or direction. TRANSPARENT describes objects that allow the passage of light, usually optically clear substances such as glass.
Color of an opaque object is the color of light it?
Reflects, other wavelengths (colours) are absorbed.
Materials which transmit no light are referred to as?
Materials which do not allow the transmission of light are called opaque. These substances have chemical compositions, some of which are referred to as absorption centers. This means that the material absorbs all of the light wave frequencies, not just some while reflecting other frequencies.
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.
What do Metals and other substances do when heated?
materials usually expand when heated.
What is the definition of opaque material?
Impenetrable by light; neither transparent nor translucent.Not reflecting light; having no luster: an opaque finish...Impenetrable by a form of radiant energy other than visible light: a chemical solution opaque to x-rays..So obscure as to be unintelligible: "opaque, elusive, minimal meanings" .Obtuse of mind; dense.

What materials is the Sydney opera house build with?

What does pigment actually mean?

Apart from opaque material what other materials form light shadows?
