What is the term for materials that transmit scatter light?
translucent
Which term describes matter that scatters light allowing only a part of the light rays to transmit through?
translucent
What is it called when light bounces off an uneven surface?
when light 'bounces off' a surface, the technical term is that light is reflecting. if you're looking for the unscientific, descriptive word, it is scatter
What is the traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound?
Fiber optics does not transmit sound. The long tiny fibers are long narrow strands of glass or a glass-like material generally referred to as optical fibers. Light travels inside these strands with little loss. Modulating the light makes the light into a signal and so the light can carry information. One common use of optical fibers to transmit information is the use to communicate phone calls, so sound is convered to a light signal and transmitted through optical fibers and at the other end it can be converted back into sound. Optical fibers do not transmit sound but transmit light that contains the information abut the sound. The phase "concentrated light" does not really apply to this process in an obvious way because "concentrated" is a term with meaning only in a comparative sense. Light is transmitted through optical fibers and carries digital information of all sorts.
What is optical and superconducting materials?
Superconduction is a term that describes a material that has zero electrical resistance. This is significant because even good conductors like copper or gold always have some electrical resistance. Superconduction is an effect that only happens when particular materials are extremely cold (think liquid nitrogen). The effect is used in generating powerful magnetic fields in MRI machines. Optical conducting materials (also known as waveguides) are a material that transmit light using a process called total internal reflection. Optical fibre cable is a common example of an optical conductor.

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.
What is the term used to describe the process in which light is produced by rubbing materials together?
Triboluminescence
What is a transparent material that refracts light rays?
A transparent material one that allows light to pass through with little absorption or distortion. If there is distortion, one might use the term translucent instead of transparent. More technically, one refers to a materials as being able to transmit light for a particular range of color as being transparent in that color range. Water is transparent for light in the range that the human eye can detect, but just outside that range, it becomes highly absorptive and would, if we could see, appear black. This is generally true for glass, air, salt and other materials which we would nominally characterize as transparent. Objects that absorb in a portion of the visible spectrum will transmit light that is a color formed from the portion of the spectrum that is not absorbed (portion that is transarent).
