Does a translucent object let light pass through or does it scatter the light?
It scatters the light
What does an opaque object do to the light?
An opaque object transmits very little light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs most of it.
What is it called when light hits an object and some light goes through and some dont what is it called when the light does not go through the block?
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.
What is an object called when light passes through it?
transparent
What is an object called that lets some light through?
some light travels through=translucent
Does a translucent object let light pass through or does it scatter the light?
It scatters the light
What does an opaque object do to the light?
An opaque object transmits very little light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs most of it.
What happens when a light hits a object?
Translucent materials will allow light to pass through them, but usually it also scatters the light a little so that you can't see through it clearly like a transparent piece of glass.
What is light traveling though an object called?
If light travels through an object, it is still called light. If you want to specify, you might say "light travelling through an object".
What happens when you shine a light through a fog what is this called and why does it happen?
The fog is called a colloidal solution. When light is shined through this colloidal solution, the light scatters in all direction because of the substance contained in this solution type.
What happens when light scatters?
It is redirected as it passes through a medium.
What happens to light when it scatters?
It is redirected as it passes through a medium
when light passes stright through an object, that object is called?
When light passes through an object, we say it is transmitted. Transparent objects transmit a lot of light. basically it is called shadow
Light that passes through an object is called?
Light usually passes through a transparent object. Similarly, light passes through the translucent objects but people cannot see through it.
A material that scatters light as it passes through?
translucent
What evidence would you look for to tell whether light scatters when it hits an object?
A rainbow appears
What type of opaque object keeps light focused and scatters wavelengths of visible light for the human eye to see?
It will be right to say that only principles of light microscopy keeps light focused and scatters wavelengths of visible light for the human eye to see.
