Light travels in straight lines and when the light travels through a translucent object light bounces off in all directions due to multiple reflections by the microscopic irregularities inside the material.

∙ 6y agoMost light passes through an non-polarized transparent object, but it may have changed its direction depending on the refractive index of the substance and the angle of incidence of the light ray.

What statement describes how light behaves when it strikes a translucent material?
Light is scattered
How is an opaque object different from a translucent object in terms of its ability to transmit light?
Opaque objects don't allow light to pass through them while translucent objects slow the passage of light but ultimately allow it to pass through.
What lets some of the light through an object so objects on the other side are seen blurry?
That is essentially the definition of a "translucent" material. Some translucent materials include: wax paper, glass bricks, some forms of fiberglass, and some forms of plastic.a translucent material
What happens to light rays when they hit rough opaque objects?
When light rays hit rough opaque objects, such as a rough surface, they undergo diffuse reflection. This means that instead of reflecting off the surface at a single angle like with smooth surfaces, the light rays are scattered in various directions due to the uneven nature of the surface. As a result, the surface appears matte or non-reflective.
Is a glass of water with red food coloring translucent or transparent and Explain?
If the water is not cloudy or contains visible particulates that would distort objects seen through it, it should be considered transparent. Otherwise, a UV-blocking lens or window pane would be translucent. A different opinion: Translucent because it allows some light to pass through it but not all
What happens to light when it hits a translucent objects?
this is when only some light can go though
In which three categories can most materials be classified based on what happens to light that's strikes the material?
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.
What statement describes how light behaves when it strikes a translucent material?
Light is scattered
How do transparent translucent and opaque objects affect light?
transparent and translucent objects are the objects that let the light pass through them eg glass, but sometimes translucent objects are colorful so they change the color of the light as it passes through them opaque objects can either absorb the light, like dark material, or reflect, like a mirror.
Can light travel through translucent objects?
My teacher told me that light can travel through translucent object.
What determines the colors of a translucent objects?
the light of it that is wrong
What happen to light that strikes a translucent material?
You have to look hard, because most of the light gets absorbed
How is a translucent object different from a transparent object?
it is different because translucent objects leaves the light to pass through partially,but transparent objects leave the light to pass through fully.
What kind of objects light passes though?
Transparent objects are the sorts of objects that light passes through. Translucent objects allow the partial transmission of light. Opaque objects prevent the transmission of light.
How is an opaque object different from a translucent object in terms of its ability to transmit light?
Opaque objects don't allow light to pass through them while translucent objects slow the passage of light but ultimately allow it to pass through.
What is the difference between translucent and transparent?
Translucent means light passes through the medium, but the light is diffused so that object beyond cannot be seen clearly. Transparent means that light passes through the medium and is not diffused and objects beyound can be seen clearly.
What material that blocks some kinds of light and lets objects through?
translucent
