What is the word when something lets through light but not too much?
JessieBetts
"Translucent" means letting some of the light through. It does not mean anything about how much would be too much, though.

What is opaque in science?
Opaque basically means that something is not transparent; light can not pass through. For an example: the choroid of the eye is opaque, it absorbs excessive light so multiple images do not appear on the retina. Keep in mind that absorbing light is not the same thing as passing through. The choroid basically stops too much light from hitting the retina.
Is material transparent if 97 percent of light passes through it?
Technically, transparency is not an on or off (yes or no) thing. There is a degree of transparency and one quantifies this by saying how much (and at what wavelengths) light is transmitted through a medium. Nonetheless, in daily language people say something is transparent when most of the light passes through and a transmission of far lesss than 97 percent falls into that category. Similarly, people use the term opaque when most of the light does not pass through a material but that usually means no detectable light or a very small fraction of light passes through.

like lets say you had 27 grams of sugar per pound, then it means how much of something you have per pound

What part of camera lens lets light through?
The iris (technically the diaphragm) lets light from the lens enter the camera. The entire lens can let light fall on the film or sensor. But, much of the time it doesn't do that. An device called an iris makes the hole through which light passes larger and smaller. When all the way open it lets light from the entire lens reach the film or sensor, but it can make the hole smaller and only allow light from a part of the lens enter.
What are some ways in which materials affect how light is transmitted?
How much light a material absorbs or lets through depends mainly on what kind of material it is. Usually pure substances will not absorb light but rather lets light through or reflects light. Exceptions include carbon, uranium and others. The exact theory goes into detail in how electrons absorb that energy and move to a higher orbital but generally, a material will let light through if the electrons require excessive energy to jump to a higher orbital.
What is the difference between viscosity and transparency?
transparancy is how much light can get through something, and viscosity has to do with thickness of a liquid

How does an electric bulb?
it works with a circuit.these tiny microscopic molecules travel through the wire. the filament, a very thin metal lets the molecules travel through, but at a much slower pace. this then causes it to burn and light the bulb up.

Check engine light is on1998 Isuzu rodeo ls32 v6?
the check engine light means you have something wrong with your emissions. theres something wrong with how your car lets out exhaust. There are sensers on your exhaust pipe that sense how much exhaust is being let out and how much unburned fuel is coming out. There is a computer in your car that senses that and try's to fix it. one of your sensers might be bad or you might have a clogged catalatic converter.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
