In order for a material to be transparent (see-through), the light energy that impacts the material must be transmitted through the material and "released" on the other side unchanged. In order for this to happen, the molecules of the material must vibrate at the frequency of the light energy in such a way that the energy is not changed into another form - ie. the energy is not absorbed and used to heat the material, nor is the energy reflected off the surface. Opaque materials' molecules keep the energy or reflect it back, but don't pass it through.

What does it mean when a material is opaque?
When a material is opaque, it means that it does not allow light to pass through it. This makes the material not transparent or translucent, so you cannot see through it. Opaque materials block the transmission of light.
What are colours you cant see through called?
Opaque
How you can turn an translucent material into an opaque.?
you can turn an opaque material to a translucent material by covering the material with a translucent material or paint it in a colour that you can see through but not clearly. You can turn an opaque material to a translucent material by covering it up with a translucent material or by painting it in a colour that you can see through but not that clearly.hope this helps you You can turn an opaque material to a translucent material by covering it up with a translucent material or by painting it in a colour that you can see through but not that clearly.hope this helps you
When a material is not see-through and lets no light through at all it is said to be?
opaque.
Is opaque the same as transparent?
You cant see through opaque things, but you can see through transparent things.
Is CD an opaque object?
no you cant see through itEdit (Wolf5370): Erm, the definition of opaque is that you can't see through it! So, yes a CD is mostly opaque (though the edges where ther film does nor reach is usually transparent - see through).
What is a material that light can't travel through?
There is no known material that light cannot travel through. However, materials such as lead and thick concrete can significantly attenuate or absorb light, making them almost opaque to visible light.
What does opaque mean in an aquatic pool?
Not clear; you cant see through it; stay out of the water.
What does the word it means you can not see through it at all?
transparent. translucent is partially obstructed and opaque is letting no light through.
What is the difference between transparent and opaque substance?
A transparent substance allows light to pass through it freely, resulting in visibility through the material. In contrast, an opaque substance blocks light from passing through, making it impossible to see through the material.
What is the difference between opaque and transparent material?
Such materials through which you can see are called transparent materials. As for example-glass. Such materials through which you cannot see are called opaque materials. As for example- wood
Is mirror is a kind of opaque?
Yes the moon is translucent.....notice how the "craters adopt the same color as the sky....in day time the are blueish and at night they are a darker like the night sky....also there has been many people who have seen planets and stars throw the moon as it goes through its phases....do your research!!
