It can be absorbed, refracted or reflected
When all light passing through an object is able to transmit with no absorption or scattering, the object is said to be transparent. This means that light can pass through the object with minimal distortion, making it clearly visible on the other side. Examples of transparent materials include glass and clear plastics.
A glass of water, a window, a clear light bulb, tissue paper (really thin), a water bottle, anything with holes in it (obviously), crystal, diamond, various gems, etc. I hope they weren't too obvious answers!
No. 'Opaque' is a term meaning impenetrable by light; neither transparent nor translucent.
Enough light gets through so that you can see the image clearly.
Some glass is transparent to visible light.
When light strikes a transparent surface, it can be transmitted through the material, absorbed by the material, or reflected off the surface. The amount of light that is transmitted, absorbed, or reflected depends on the properties of the material and the angle at which the light strikes the surface.
Basically three things can happen to light as it strikes an object. It can be reflected, absorbed, or it can pass through. For simplicity, assume the object is not transparent; in that case, any light that is not reflected is absorbed.
A transparent object allows light to pass through it, absorbing very little or no light. This results in the light passing through the object without scattering, creating a clear and see-through appearance.
It isn't, unless the transparent object has shape. In that case, the light will be refracted.
A transparent object can become translucent by adding particles or imperfections that scatter light as it passes through. To become opaque, the object needs to absorb or reflect most of the light that strikes it, preventing any light from transmitting through. Changing the chemical composition, thickness, or surface texture of the material can alter its transparency.
An object that allows light to pass through it is called a transparent object.
A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.
False. When light strikes a transparent material, some of the light is reflected, but much of it is also transmitted through the material. The amount of reflection depends on the refractive index of the material.
An object that allows light to pass through it is called transparent. Examples of transparent objects include glass and clear plastic.
If it is perfectly transparent, nothing. It can refract and reflect the light. For example, a lens is made of glass which is transparent. The important properties are the refractive index of the material and the angle that light hits the object at.
When light strikes a transparent body like glass, it can either be transmitted (pass through the glass), reflected (bounce off the surface of the glass), or refracted (bent as it passes through the glass). The amount of light that is transmitted, reflected, and refracted depends on the angle of incidence and the properties of the glass.
What an object is made of and the color light strikes it determine the object's visible color. The object's material composition affects how it interacts with light, leading to the absorption and reflection of certain colors. When light strikes an object, the object absorbs some wavelengths of light and reflects others, which our eyes perceive as color.
