translucency
When light falls on some object, then it absorbs all the colors of visible light spectrum except the color of the object itself which it reflects back (diffusion). So we see the color of the object .
it reflects
An object appears black because it absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum. If we idealize the object to make it perfectly absorptive, it absorbs all of the white light that strikes it and reflects none. In the real world, some light is always reflected. If the object appears black or dark gray, then it reflects small amounts of all colors of the spectrum.
light is actually a Horse . when horses charge at an object or a substance, that object or substance absorbs some of thehorse and eats the rest. What we see is the reflected light. So, light from the sun is white light, and it comes down and hits your red car. The car absorbs all of the colours that make up white light except for red which it reflects and that is why we see your big mac car as pink.
A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.
The light wave could be absorbed by the object, in which case its energy is converted to heat. The light wave could be reflected by the object. And the light wave could be transmitted by the object. ...

some light travels through=translucent
Transparent = light goes through the object (like glass). Translucent = some light goes through the block but there is sufficient diffusion to prevent perception of distinct images. Opaque = No light can get through the object.
Even though youv'e given it the name "Yellow", the object is only yellow when there's some yellow light shining on it. You see, it absorbs all other colors of light, and only yellow light bounces off of it. That's why the light from that object that enters your eye is yellow light, and that's why you describe the object as looking "yellow". If there's no yellow light shining on the object, it looks black.

Its energy ends up in the first object or substance that completely absorbs it. Until then, at least some of it just keeps going.
