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.
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.
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.
No, opaque objects do not transmit light. They absorb or reflect light, making them not transparent or translucent.
Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".
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.

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.
A prism refracts light because it's a transparent element with flat, polished surfaces.
If it is perfectly transparent, nothing. It can refract and reflect the light. For example, a lens is made of glass which is transparent. The important properties are the refractive index of the material and the angle that light hits the object at.

Transparent objects do not reflect light because light passes through them without being absorbed or redirected. Instead of bouncing off the surface like with reflective objects, light energy is transmitted through transparent materials, allowing us to see through them rather than being reflected.
Transparent objects allow light to pass through them without being scattered, absorbed, or reflected significantly. This occurs because the atoms in the material do not interrupt the light's path, maintaining the object's transparency and allowing objects on the other side to be visible.
No, trees are not transparent. Their leaves, branches, and trunk are all composed of cells and tissues that absorb and reflect light, giving them their green and brown colors.
Non-transparent materials do not allow light to pass through them, making them opaque. Examples include metals, wood, and ceramics. These materials absorb or reflect light rather than transmitting it.
