allows light to pass through
yes, light will pass through quartz
an objects light can pass through is transparent
Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them.
"Clear" objects are named "clear" because light can pass through them. If light could not pass through them, they would not be labeled "clear".

Starch is not soluble so therefore a higher concentration will have more starch molecules stopping light from going through.

Suspensions and colloids exhibit the Tyndall Effect. When a beam of light is shone on either of these mixtures, it will be scattered by the continuous movement of the particles and not shine through to the other side.

A light doesn't pass through a colloid mixture because the particles are still present in the container so the light will shine off of them. The particles don't dissolve like a solution and don't clump together like a suspension but are present and spaced apart from each other.
Transparent materials will always allow light to pass through, translucent materials will allow light to pass through as well but the light rays will be scattered. Opaque materials will not allow any light to pass through.
They reflect or absorb light and thus do not allow light to pass through.
An object through which light cannot pass is known as opaque.
Some light is allowed to pass through, but not all, making it translucent.
