Skin is actually translucent, not opaque. So yes, a thin enough membrane of skin can pass light. The human hand is thin enough, if the flashlight is bright enough.

What type of material always lets light pass through it?

Transparent materials will always allow light to pass through, translucent materials will allow light to pass through as well but the light rays will be scattered. Opaque materials will not allow any light to pass through.


What is transparent translucent and opaque called?

These terms refer to the ability of a material to allow light to pass through it. Transparent materials allow light to pass through clearly, translucent materials allow some light to pass through but not clearly, and opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through.


What happens to light when it travells through air and meets a transparant surface?

transparent surfaces, allow light to pass through, translucent surfaces allow SOME light to pass through and opaque surfaces DO NOT allow any light to pass through


How can a torch be used to test a colloid?

A torch can be used to test a colloid by shining the light through the colloid. If the colloid scatters the light making it visible (Tyndall effect), then it is a colloid. This is because the particles in the colloid are large enough to scatter light, unlike particles in a solution which are too small.


What material does not allow light to pass through it?

Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them.


Can solid objects allow light to pass through it?

No, solid objects do not allow light to pass through them because the particles are tightly packed and do not allow for the transmission of light. Materials such as glass and plastic are transparent solids that allow light to pass through due to their molecular structure and arrangement.


What term defines some light passing through?

Translucent materials allow some light to pass through. Transparent materials allow most or all light to pass through.


What is traslucent opaque and transparent?

Translucent materials allow some light to pass through but scatter it in different directions. Opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through. Transparent materials allow light to pass through with minimal scattering, allowing objects to be seen clearly through them.


Does not allow light to pass through?

Will allow some light to pass through it water frosted glass clear glass?

Water frosted glass will allow diffused light to pass through, while clear glass will allow a higher amount of light to pass through due to its transparency.


Does silk allow light to pass through?

Yes, silk does allow light to pass through due to its thin and translucent nature. The amount of light that is able to pass through silk depends on the density of the weave and the color of the fabric. Light colors and thinner weaves will allow more light to pass through compared to darker colors and denser weaves.


What is the sequence of increasing light-transmitting capabilities of materials?

The sequence of increasing light-transmitting capabilities of materials is opaque, translucent, and transparent. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through, translucent materials allow some light to pass through but not clearly, and transparent materials allow light to pass through clearly.
