Depends on the "object" and the frequency of the "light." All light waves can go through SOME objects, and some are stopped by an object that others can go right through. Radio waves can easily go through walls, optical light waves can go through glass, UV light can be easily stopped by many objects but can go through some others, and x-rays and gamma rays go through a wide variety of objects.
Prisms are glass objects commonly used to bend light through refraction. They work by changing the direction of light waves as they pass through the prism, causing the light to separate into its constituent colors.
yes for more information go on google.com ......................................................................................................................... No, because transparent materials do not absorb light.
An object which light can travel throughA transparent object is an object that allows all light to pass through. Examples include clear, see-through glass.
No, that is what opaque means. Light does not go through an opaque object. An object that is translucent will allow light through, but is opaque enough to keep you from seeing clearly through it (think about frosted glass used for bathroom windows). Transparent is "see through".
Light beams CAN go through an object, but most of the time they are refracted if they do, meaning the light rays are bent. If you've seen the Pink Floyd album cover with the prism and rainbow coming out, you can see the light beam goes through the prism but the different types of light in the light beam are broken up in to the rainbow Light can't always go through an object, though. If you hold up a rock (like granite) to light, the light wont go through it, although it might go around the rock, called diffraction. Windows, TV screens, lenses, ice cubes, light bulbs, diamonds - all these work or look better because light can go through them.
When light passes through a transparent object, it continues to travel in a straight line until it either gets absorbed by another object, reflects off a surface, or exits the object and continues on its path.
An object that does not allow light to pass through it is called opaque. Opaque objects absorb or reflect light, preventing it from transmitting through them.
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.
Electromagnetic. Or you might be looking for transverse.
Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves. However, through solids it can be transmitted through either longitudinal waves or transversal waves. To view the source and more information go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound
Waves can exhibit both behaviors depending on the type of waves and the medium through which they are propagating. In some cases, waves can pass through each other without interacting (such as light waves), while in other cases, waves can bounce off each other or interact (such as sound waves).
Absolutely! Electric energy, kinetic energy, sound waves, light waves, heat ... all kinds of energy travel very well through water.
