An object is TRANSPARENT if light passes through easily enough that you can see what is on the other side. It is TRANSLUCENT if enough light passes through that it helps you see what is on the same side of the object where you are.

Is Light consists of very small particles called photons a hypothesis?
No. It is at the very least a theory, and may be a law.
What happens to visible light when it strikes an object?
Depending on the substance that comprises the object, light may be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.
What happens to light waves when it strikes an object?
light can do one of 4 things. it can, a] bounce off of an object, b] get absorbed, or c] be dispersed. this happens when white light goes through a prism, and comes out as all colors of the visible spectrum, ROYGBIV. [red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet] and refract d]
WHY DO I HAVE to strike the pole -shake-then the light comes on?
it may be that there is a loose connection in the pole and or the light connectors(where you screw in the light) becomes a little rusted and when kick/shaken it loosens the rust and make connection. May be a loose connection, get it looked at by an expert, may be very dangerous!
What is plane polarized of light?
That's the simplest kind of polarization, and it simply means that all pieces of light - all photons - have the same orientation in space. For example, if the light shines horizontally, the light can be vertically polarized, or it may be horizontally polarized. Or at some other angle in between.
What happens when you bombard an atom with photons of light?
You may catch a fire. It depends.
What is a solidified photons?
Photons are electromagnetic waves/particles, most commonly seen as light and by definition can not be solidified but that may be proven wrong someday
What if our sun was once a photon star I have proof it may have been?
A "photon" is a particle of light. Therefore, EVERY star that emits light - basically, all of them - is a "photon star". So, yes, our Sun is a photon star, and it still is. Energetic photons hitting the landscape and bouncing off let us see, and even more energetic photons that strike your skin can, in a high enough dose, give you a sunburn.
Is Light consists of very small particles called photons a hypothesis?
No. It is at the very least a theory, and may be a law.
What particles are found in the chemicals that may be responsible for the production of colored light?
Electrons maybe?
When light is reflected are the lumens reflected too?
Yes. The lumen is a measure of the strength of light; if light may be detected , it is done via the presence of photons, their intensity is the measure of luminosity.
How are electrons involved in light?
None, light is composed of photons. Light may be emitted or absorbed when electrons undergo transitions between atomic or molecular orbitals, but the light itself does not contain electrons.
What happens to visible light when it strikes an object?
Depending on the substance that comprises the object, light may be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.
What is created when an object blocks the light?
If the light is strong enough, a shadow is formed. But if that object is a cloud, a rainbow may be formed.
What is more likely an object's weight is 0 or an objects mass is 0?
maybe air or gas i think for weight...... : Actually, the above have weight and mass, if they are on or about Earth. Anything that is matter will always have mass. It may have no weight if it is in free fall. Light, or photons, have no mass. One may say - very carefully - that you could consider they have "weight" at times, if one is applying that term to the phenomena of gravity affecting those photons.
What is the difference between Coherent and incoherent light?
coherent light is a light in which the electromagnetic waves maintain a fixed and predictable phase relationship with each other over a period of time. Additional Information (S) Incoherent light contains may different wavelengths and amplitudes of light, such as light from a light bulb. Coherent light is a beam of light where all of the photons are the same frequency and interval. If you think of photons like people, a laser is a coherent group of photons like a column of soldiers marching in a long parade, whereas incoherent light is more like everyone exiting from the movie theater.
What energy conversion takes place in a solar cell?
A solar cell converts sunlight directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Sunlight is composed of photons, or "packets" of energy. These photons contain various amounts of energy corresponding to the different wavelengths of light. When photons strike a solar cell, they may be reflected or absorbed, or they may pass right through. When a photon is absorbed, the energy of the photon is transferred to an electron in an atom of the cell (which is actually a semiconductor). With its newfound energy, the electron is able to escape from its normal position associated with that atom to become part of the current in an electrical circuit. Hope that helps.
