Want this question answered?
are all opaque objects reflectors
what processes produce the different colors we see in opaque objects
A rock, a tree and a dog are three opaque objects that stop or absorb light
These objects are opaque.
Be careful not to confuse: Opaque objects are those that do not allow light to pass through it, but they can reflect light. It is BLACK objects that absorb all the incident light on it. To conclude, opaque objects do not necessarily absorb all the incident light on them but black objects ABSORB all the incident light on them (and are, of course, opaque)
Crystaline sugar (sucrose) has a refractive index of around 1.56. Sugar solutions can have refractive indices greater than this. Note, that the refractive index of a substance can even be determined for opaque substances. This is because the RI also determines reflective properties. So by measuring the amount of light reflected by light shining on a polished sample at a given angle, a refractive index can in principle be obtained.
Fog is made out of water droplets in suspension in the air. The refractive index of these droplets is 1.3330. However the body of fog as seen on mass is opaque (enough of it will stop light) and opaque substances do not have a refractive index.

No, not objects that are opaque.
they form clearer objects
These objects are opaque.

The basic difference between an opaque and a transparent object is that we can see through the transparent objects while through the opaque objects, we cannot see.
