Why does the sugar-grain though it is transparent appears white when it is crushed?
SunilBM
White colour comes from the mixing of many wavelengths. If you take one grain of a crystal, such as sugar or salt, where the atoms are arranged more or less orderly, the the light isn't as diffused as it would be if you have many but smaller grains. Many grains end up mixing the light and refracting it from many different angles and so producing a white colour.

Kinda-sorta. Finely crushed glass will behave pretty much like sand. You won't get the same color though.
When all light passes through an object?
The object will be invisible, unless of course it is refracted, in which case the refraction will scatter the light. And light will refract through any change in material medium.
Is a marshmallow a homogeneous?
Marshmallow is homogeneous because even though it is a mixture, you can only appears to be 1 thing and because marshmallow is made by dissolving. SO there is a solvent and a solute
What is a characteristic of a homogeneous mixture?
If there is no separation line visible that's an indication; If you stir the solution and you see no small trails going through the mixture that's another one. And of course all the solid material has to be dissolved, leading to a transparent solution but it can be coloured though.

What happens to light upon meeting opaque and transparent materials?
opaque material: some light will get reflected and some will get absorbed transparent material: light will go though it
When water is transparent then how is its shadow formed?
Because even though water is transparent, it diffracts (bends) light. When the water gets in the path of the light, some light will be reflected away at the surface, and more light will be diverted away by the diffraction. This will cause a loss of light energy on the other side of the water. Since the light in this area has less energy, it appears less bright, and this causes the "shadow".
