An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.
What do you meant by opaque?
Opaque refers to the opacity of a substance, that is, its ability to reflect or disperse light. An object with high opacity does not allow a large amount of light through whereas an object with low opacity does. Also, different substances may have different opacities to different wavelengths of light.
What is behind an opaque object?
Whatever you stick the opaque object in front of.
What does opaque and translucent mean?
Opaque means that neither light nor images can pass through the object. Translucent means that only light can pass through the object.

Is a book opaque object?
Yes. Opaque means you can not see any light through the object.
Can you see through a opaque object?
No, that is what opaque means. Light does not go through an opaque object. An object that is translucent will allow light through, but is opaque enough to keep you from seeing clearly through it (think about frosted glass used for bathroom windows). Transparent is "see through".
When a shadow is formed does the object have to be opaque?
when a shadow is formed there should be an opaque object the picture can be formed on the screen.
What shadow appears when light hits an opaque object?
An opaque shadow
Describe the difference between an opaque object and a transparent object?
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.
Is a baseball an opaque object?
Yes. An opaque object is something that cannot be seen through. (Colored plastic is not opaque because it can be looked through and something behind it can be seen.)
What does an opaque object do to the light?
An opaque object transmits very little light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs most of it.
