Do opaque and translucent and transparent materials reflect and absorb light and if so what is amount of light reflected and absorbed comparatively?
The question omits the matter of how much incident light is "transmitted", i.e. passed through.
That's kind of important.
Opaque . . . transmits none
Translucent . . . transmits some
Transparent . . . transmits most or all
The incident light that's NOT transmitted is either absorbed or reflected. How much of each depends on
the specific material, and in general we don't know that.

What happens to the colors that are not transmitted through transparent or translucent objects?
Colors that are not transmitted through transparent or translucent objects are either absorbed or reflected. The absorbed colors are converted into heat energy, while the reflected colors bounce off the object and can be seen by the viewer.
Does transparent reflect light?
No, transparent materials allow light to pass through them without being reflected. However, some light may be refracted or scattered as it passes through a transparent material.
How do light interacts with each of these materials?
Glass: Light can pass through glass, making it transparent. Some light may also be reflected or refracted. Metal: Light is mostly reflected off the surface of metal due to its high reflectivity. Some metals may also absorb and re-emit light in various ways. Plastic: Light can pass through plastic, making it transparent or translucent depending on the material. Some plastic materials may also absorb light and change its color or intensity.
When light cannot travel through a material the light has been?
When light cannot travel through a material, it has been absorbed or blocked by the material. This typically occurs when the material is opaque and not transparent or translucent.
What happens when light strikes translucent material a transparent material and opaque material?
When light strikes a translucent material, it passes through but scatters in different directions, creating a diffused or blurred effect. In contrast, light passes through a transparent material with minimal scattering, allowing objects to be seen clearly on the other side. For an opaque material, light is absorbed or reflected, preventing it from passing through, resulting in no visibility on the other side.

What happens to light upon meeting opaque and transparent materials?
opaque material: some light will get reflected and some will get absorbed transparent material: light will go though it

What kind of materials appear to be worst reflector?
Materials that are dark and absorb light rather than reflecting it tend to be poor reflectors. Rough, matte surfaces also tend to reflect light in many directions rather than clearly reflecting it back, making them less effective as reflectors. Materials that are transparent or translucent also tend to be poor reflectors because light tends to pass through them rather than being reflected.
What happens when light strikes translucent material a transparent material and opaque material?

In contrast, light passes through a transparent material with minimal scattering, allowing objects to be seen clearly on the other side. For an opaque material, light is absorbed or reflected, preventing it from passing through, resulting in no visibility on the other side.
What happens to the colors of light that are not transmitted through a transmitted or a translucent material?
they reflected
In which direction does light oscillate if it is reflected off a shiny transparent surface?
Light oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the shiny transparent surface when it is reflected. This is known as the normal direction.
What determines the color of an translucent object?
The colour of something is usually determined by the light waves reflected by it. We see what is reflected and not what is absorbed. This applies to opaque objects as well as translucent ones.
What types of material can light waves travel through?
Light waves can travel through various materials, including air, water, glass, and certain types of transparent plastics. These materials allow the light waves to pass through due to their structure, which allows the waves to be transmitted rather than absorbed or reflected.
