What materials can light not travel through?

Light cannot travel through an opaque material. The word "opaque" simply means that a substance isn't transparent or translucent. So most everyday materials, like wood, plastic, iron, and people are all opaque.


Can magnets work on the following materials water wood and plastic?

Water, wood, and plastic are all non-magnetic. Magnets will not attract them.


What is a opaque objects?

Materials which allow light to pass through are called transparent materials such as a plastic sheet, glass, air, acrylic sheet, water. etc. Opaque materials are materials which do not allow light to pass through such as wood, stone, black paper, paper bags, books, etc.


Can sound waves travel through different materials such as Styrofoam metal wood wool and plastic?

Sound waves can travel through different materials such as the ones listed here. However, their speed is what sets them apart. When sound travels through water, for example, it will travel faster than it does in the air. This is because the water molecules are placed closer together than air molecules, and can transfer sound waves more quickly. As a rule, sound travels slowest through gases, slightly faster through liquids, and fastest of all through solids. As with all science, there are exceptions to all rules. For example, some solids do not allow sound to pass through them at all. They are soundproof.


What types of materials does heat not travel through?

Heat can and does travel through all matter. It's just that some materials carry it much slower than others, and these are called insulators. The best ones being foam type materials.

Why does drawing the curtain make it dark in the room?

Light can pass through some materials. An example of a material like this would be glass. It cant go through all materials. When materials let light through, we call that transparency.


Where can one find materials for a plastic conveyor belt?

How are superconductors different from insulators?

Superconductors are materials that let current or electricity pass through them. Insulators are materials that don't allow current or electricity to pass through them. Superconductors are mostly all metals. Insulators are wood, plastic, and paper.


Which is true heat can travel well through all materials or heat can travel well through some materials?

Some, but not all. Some materials are insulators- heat does not travel well through them.

What materials are non recyclable?

Everything is recyclable, for a price. However in many cases it is not economical to recycle materials. An example is plastic wrap that is contaminated with food. This has to be separated, cleaned and then the plastic recycled (all plastic can be recycled). In this case nobody would be prepared to do it. So the answer is "No materials are non-recyclable, but recyclers in your local area will tell you more."
