An opaque shadow
any colors that are not part of the color of the object are absorbed by the object. light of the colors that do make up the color of the object are reflected back to your eyes.
White light is made up of all the colours of the rainbow. When light hits an object, some colours (wavelengths) are absorbed, and some reflected. The colour you see is a combination of all the reflected colours.
The color is Black.
If it absorbs ALL the colors, then it will be white (maybe also black). If light doesn't hit the object, it will be black.

An opaque object absorbs all the light that hits it. That's whythere's never any light left to come out of the other side.
There is no scientific term for what happens when light hits an opaque object I'm afraid to say.

Because the Shadow is also dependent on the angle of the light source compared to the opaque object.
"Black" means "no light". That's why a dark room looks black at niight.If an object really looks black, then you know that it must have absorbed any lightthat hit it, because there's none left to bounce from the object into your eyes.
When light hits a mirror, it either reflects onto another mirror, or bends and travels until it hit an opaque object.

If the light can not pass through a object it is opaque . The light will reflect or be absorbed by the object.
Light is a lot like water or any other liquid. It will travel where ever it is directed until it hits a solid opaque object.
