Transparent objects allow light to pass through them without significant absorption. They reflect a small amount of light at their surfaces due to differences in refractive index but primarily refract light as it passes through.

Do transparent objects absorb most of the light that strikes them?

No, transparent objects allow light to pass through them without significant absorption. Instead of absorbing light, transparent objects transmit, reflect, or refract light, depending on their properties and the angle of incidence of the incoming light.


Do transparent obects reflect or absorb light?

Transparent objects allow light to pass through them, so they generally do not reflect or absorb much light. Some light may be reflected or absorbed depending on the material and surface properties of the transparent object.


Does opaque light transmiss?

No, opaque objects do not transmit light. They absorb or reflect light, making them not transparent or translucent.


Do transparent objects reflect light?

No, a transparent object would totally transmit all light through it. However there are no transparent objects, and objects which we think of as being transparent are in fact translucent. All objects absorb at least some light. Glass for instance will transmit about 90% or so of visible light and reflect the rest. A transparent object will invariably have edges. Those edges are typically polished to facilitate transmission. A polished surface will always reflect some light.


Does a glass door absorb light?

Glass is transparent to visible light, so it does not absorb it. Instead, it allows light to pass through it. However, glass can reflect and refract light, affecting the way light passes through it.

What color absorb the beast refract light?

The color black absorbs light and does not reflect any specific color.


Red and blue will absorb the same light?

Red and blue light will not absorb the same light. Red objects reflect red light and absorb other colors, while blue objects reflect blue light and absorb other colors.


Why do light coloured objects reflect radiation more than dark coloured objects?

Because dark colours absorbs light, and energy;and its named absortion coefficient. ============================== Some substances and objects made from them reflect more light and absorb less. Other substances and objects made from them reflect less light and absorb more. The ones that reflect more and absorb less are the ones that appear lighter to us. Why ? Because they absorb less light and reflect more of it toward our eyes.


Would wax paper reflect refract absorb or transmit light?

Wax paper is typically translucent, allowing some light to pass through while also diffusing it. Therefore, it primarily transmits light but also scatters it due to its semi-transparent nature.


What object does not reflect or absorb much light and you can see clearly through this type of object?

Such objects are said to be "transparent". Examples include things made of glass, some liquids such as water, and most gases.
