Since the object appears violet to your eye, it must be that violet light is the wavelength most efficiently reflected ... least efficiently absorbed ... by the object. To a greater or lesser degree, all wavelengths that are not reflected from the object are absorbed by it.
Yes it is
We need an source of light, an opaque object blocking the path of light, a screen behind the opaque object.
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.
no you cant see through itEdit (Wolf5370): Erm, the definition of opaque is that you can't see through it! So, yes a CD is mostly opaque (though the edges where ther film does nor reach is usually transparent - see through).
No, they are not. An opaque object lets no light through at all. Marble counter tops, pieces of plywood or wallboard, sheet metals are examples of things that are opaque. Clouds are translucent. You cannot see any detail through them, but you can see that light is passing through.
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.
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.
When light encounters an opaque object, it is absorbed or reflected by the surface of the object. This means that the light cannot pass through the object, so on the side opposite the light source, there will be a shadow. Furthermore, the object will absorb some of the light energy and may become warmer as a result.
The photons all get absorbed. None of them make it to the other side to escape.
If the light can not pass through a object it is opaque . The light will reflect or be absorbed by the object.
When light strikes an opaque object, the object absorbs the light energy and does not transmit it through the material. This absorption of light causes the object to become warmer. The energy is either emitted as thermal radiation or reflected off the surface.
In an opaque object, such as a brick wall, light is absorbed or scattered by the material rather than passing through it. The molecules within the object absorb the light energy and convert it into heat, causing the light to be blocked and unable to transmit through the 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 an opaque object, it is absorbed or reflected. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them, so the light is either absorbed by the material and converted into heat, or reflected off its surface. This is why we are unable to see through opaque objects.
When light strikes an opaque object, the light is either absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The object appears to be a certain color because it reflects certain wavelengths of light and absorbs the rest.
It gets absorbed or reflected
When looking at an opaque object, you see the colors that are reflected off its surface. The color perceived depends on the wavelengths of light that are reflected by the object. The colors visible to you are the ones that are not absorbed by the object's surface.
