What else can I help you with?
What is the scientific name for a object that does let light through?
An object that does not allow light to pass through it is called an opaque object.
What is formed when an object which does not allow light to pass through is in the path of light?
Depends on the surface of the object that the light is projected on. If the object has a polished surface like an inoxidable steel, or the object is a mirror, the light will produce a reflexion or the light comes back when it hits the mirror. Behind any object, is formed a shadow, since such object is not a glass.
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.
Is air an opaque object?
No, air is not an opaque object. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, but air is transparent and allows light to pass through easily.
What makes an object transparent translucent or opaque?
The transparency, translucency, or opacity of an object depends on how much light it allows to pass through. Transparent objects allow almost all light to pass through, translucent objects allow some light to pass through but diffuses it, and opaque objects do not allow light to pass through at all. This is determined by the material's molecular structure and composition.
Whether or not an object is Translucent transparent or opaque is determined by its ability to what?
An object's ability to transmit light is what determines whether it is translucent, transparent, or opaque. Translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but they scatter it in different directions. Transparent objects allow light to pass through with minimal scattering. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through at all.
What makes an object opaque?
An object is opaque when it does not allow light to pass through it. This is due to the material's properties, such as being dense and not allowing light to penetrate. Because of this, the object appears solid and does not allow visibility through it.
Is a book an translucent object?
A book isn't translucent, it's opaque.A transparent object allows most of the light to pass through it allowing us to see through clearly through it.A translucent object allows some of the light to pass through it allowing us to see through it to a limited extent.An opaque object allows no light to pass through it and does not allow us to see through it at all.
What you call an object that allows some light through?
A translucent object allows some light to pass through while still scattering it. It is different from transparent objects that allow light to pass through without scattering.
What is an object that transmit light or allows light to pass through it?
An object that transmits light or allows light to pass through it is called a transparent object. Examples of transparent objects include glass, water, and plastic. These objects allow light to travel through them with minimal distortion or absorption.
What is it called when light cannot pass through something?
When light cannot pass through an object, it is called opacity. This means that the material does not allow light to travel through it and blocks the transmission of light.
Can an opaque object block light?
Yes, an opaque object can block light because it does not allow light to pass through it. When light hits an opaque object, the material absorbs or reflects the light, preventing it from passing through to the other side.
