How is light transmitted when it hits a surface?
The light is absorbed in the object but it mainly refract and the light changes direction.
Does light only refract when it passes through a translucent object?
Light refracts when it passes from one medium into another one with a differentrefractive index.If transparent objects didn't refract light, then eyeglasses wouldn't work.
Does water refract light?
Yes, it does refract light.
Can opaque substances refract light?
No, opaque substances can NOT refract light. It is impossible to refract light if it is blocking it's path.
Does a laser light refract or bend?
Refract
Does light refract more when going through a thicker substance?
well three things happen when light strikes an object Refract Reflect absorb

What does to a transparent object do to light?
If it is perfectly transparent, nothing. It can refract and reflect the light. For example, a lens is made of glass which is transparent. The important properties are the refractive index of the material and the angle that light hits the object at.
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
Do mirrors reflect or refract light?
A prism refracts light, and a mirror reflects light.
Does a lens refract light?
a lens will refract light. a mirror will reflect the light.
Should eyeglasses reflect or refract light into the eye?
Refract light. They only reflect when you see a glare or ghost image
