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.

When all light passes through an object?

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.

The missing words in that sentence are "left" and "hydrogen".


What is glass made of liquid or solid?

Technically, glass is considered a solid material because its atoms are arranged in a rigid and orderly structure, even though it may have some characteristics of a liquid due to its non-crystalline nature. Glass is formed by cooling molten silica-based materials, such as sand, to create a rigid and transparent substance.

What is a translucent color?

There are three levels of being able to see things through a solid liquid or gas. Opaque means you can't se through i at all. transparent means that you can see through it clearly and translucent means that light passes through but not clear images (like a foggy day) . A translucent color is a colour one which allows light to pass though, or even the underlying cloud, but no distinct image of the surface the colour is on.

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".

What are transparent drinks?

Most drinks are at least partially transparent. Water, vodka and gin are almost 100% transparent. Koo-laid and similar products create transparent drinks, though colored in different ways. Fruit and Vegetable juices, as well as those based on grain often have enough suspension in them to be opaque.
