What do you need in order to see a shadow?

We need an source of light, an opaque object blocking the path of light, a screen behind the opaque object.


Is the sun opaque?

No, the sun is not opaque. It is a luminous sphere composed of plasma that emits light and heat. While it appears solid, it is actually a dynamic and constantly changing ball of gas.


What is the space behind an opaque object where light does not reach?

The space behind an opaque object where light does not reach is called a "shadow." A shadow forms because the opaque object blocks the path of light, preventing it from illuminating that area. The characteristics of the shadow, such as its shape and size, depend on the light source's position and intensity. Shadows can vary in darkness and clarity based on the object's proximity to the light source.

What kind of microscope would be used to study a whole or opaque object?

To study a whole or opaque object, a stereomicroscope (also known as a dissecting microscope) is typically used. This type of microscope provides a three-dimensional view and allows for the examination of the surface features of the object at low magnification. It uses reflected light to illuminate the specimen, making it suitable for larger or opaque samples that cannot be viewed with traditional compound microscopes.

When light is bounced off an object it cannot pass through it is?

There are many objects that no light can pass through, although of course, it depends on what type of light you're talking about. The name of the type of object that visible light cannot pass through is called opaque.


When you cannot see through a substance is called?

If you can't see through an object clearly it is an opaque object.

Is a book opaque object?

Yes. Opaque means you can not see any light through the object.


What shadow appears when light hits an opaque object?

When light hits an opaque object, a shadow is created on the opposite side of the object where the light is blocked. The shadow is a dark area where light cannot pass through due to the solid nature of the opaque 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".


What is behind an opaque object?

An opaque object does not allow light to pass through it, so what is behind the object cannot be seen. This is because light is either absorbed or reflected by the object, blocking the view of what is behind it.


When light hits something opaque we get a shadow so why do we have almost no shadow when the sun is high and there seems to be more light?

Because the Shadow is also dependent on the angle of the light source compared to the opaque object.


Why does a rounders post make a shadow?

opaque


What happens when light rays hit an opaque object?

When light rays hit an opaque object, they are absorbed or reflected. The object appears opaque because it reflects most of the light that hits it and absorbs very little. This is why we cannot see through opaque objects.


Is air an opaque object?

No, air is not an opaque object. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, but air is transparent and allows light to pass through easily.


What happens to light when it hits a opaque object?

When light hits an opaque object, it is absorbed by the object's surface material, leading to a conversion of light energy into thermal energy. The opaque object does not transmit or reflect the light, causing the object to appear solid and non-translucent.
