Can light pass through potassium permanganate solution?

Yes, light can pass through a potassium permanganate solution to some extent. However, the intensity of light passing through will depend on the concentration of the solution and its thickness. Potassium permanganate is a deep purple color and will absorb some of the light passing through it.


Why a color paddle decreases the intensity of the light passing through it?

A color paddle reduces light intensity by selectively absorbing certain wavelengths of light based on its color. The molecules in the pigment of the paddle absorb specific wavelengths, which decreases the overall intensity of light passing through because some of the light energy is converted to heat.


What is happen when light hits a translucent glass?

When light hits a translucent glass, some of the light is transmitted through the glass, some is absorbed by the glass, and some is scattered within the glass. This scattering causes the light to appear diffused rather than simply passing straight through.


When light passes through a transparent object does it get hotter?

yes for more information go on google.com ......................................................................................................................... No, because transparent materials do not absorb light.


Are most objects opaque?

No, not all objects are opaque. Some objects are transparent (light passes through easily), translucent (light passes through but is diffused), or opaque (blocks light from passing through). It depends on the material and structure of the object.


Materials that do not allow light to pass through?

Some examples of materials that do not allow light to pass through include wood, metals such as iron and aluminum, and opaque plastics. These materials absorb or reflect light, preventing it from passing through them.


Why do the light block through the pebbles in a beaker?

Light can be blocked by pebbles in a beaker due to the phenomenon of light scattering and absorption. The pebbles may scatter the light in multiple directions or absorb some of the light, preventing it from passing through easily. This can result in reduced light transmission through the beaker.


What is material that doesn't allow light to pass through?

My guess would be a wall. But, I'm not a Scientist. Hope this helped. I think the correct answer is OPAQUE. An opaque surface will reflect some of the light and absorb the rest, a reflective surface will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest, either will prevent light from passing through. A black hole will absorb all light and reflect nothing, this also prevents light passing through.


Why do shadows form when light passes through transparent objects?

Shadows form when light passing through transparent objects is partially absorbed or blocked, causing a contrast between areas that receive light and areas that do not. The transparent object allows some light to pass through, while the shadow is formed where the light is obstructed or absorbed.


Does a lens heat up when light passes through it?

Typically a lens will heat up as light passes through it. No lens is perfectly transparent so some of the light energy will be reflected and some of it will be absorbed. The part that is absorbed will manifest as an increase in the temperature of the lens. The closer the lens is to being perfectly transparent to the wavelengths of the light passing through, the less it will heat up.


What is the name of a piece of coloured plastic that only let some colours of light through?

A piece of colored plastic that only allows some colors of light through is called a color filter. It selectively absorbs certain wavelengths of light while transmitting others, resulting in only specific colors passing through the material.


Does an opaque material scatter light waves as they pass through it?

Yes, an opaque material does not allow light to pass through it and instead reflects or absorbs the light waves. This prevents the light waves from passing through the material and they are scattered in different directions.
