Light refracts when it passes from one medium into another one with a different
refractive index.
If transparent objects didn't refract light, then eyeglasses wouldn't work.
Yes, it is translucent as light passes partially through it.
No, a ray cannot refract on an opaque surface because refraction occurs as light passes through a transparent or translucent medium, causing it to change direction. Opaque surfaces do not allow light to pass through, so refraction cannot occur on them.
When light shines on a translucent object, some of the light is scattered and absorbed by the material, while the rest passes through. This gives the object a softer appearance compared to transparent objects, as the light is diffused as it passes through.
Yes, windows can refract light. When light passes through a window, the change in speed and direction of the light can cause it to bend or refract. This is why you might see rainbows or colors appear when light passes through a window.
Yes, if light is diffused as it passes through a material, it is likely to be translucent, meaning that some light can pass through but it is not completely transparent.
Light usually passes through a transparent object. Similarly, light passes through the translucent objects but people cannot see through it.
Yes, it is translucent as light passes partially through it.
Yes, translucent objects can cast a shadow. When light passes through a translucent object, it can still create a shadow behind the object depending on the intensity and direction of the light source.
No, a ray cannot refract on an opaque surface because refraction occurs as light passes through a transparent or translucent medium, causing it to change direction. Opaque surfaces do not allow light to pass through, so refraction cannot occur on them.

The material you are referring to is typically called a medium, such as air, water, or glass. As light passes through the medium, it interacts with the atoms or molecules in the material, causing it to scatter or refract, which can lead to the spreading out of light.
No, not all objects are opaque. Some objects are transparent (light passes through easily), translucent (light passes through but is diffused), or opaque (blocks light from passing through). It depends on the material and structure of the object.
