If a material is opaque to light is it opaque to other electromagnetic waves as well?

Need not be opaque to other wavelength ranges. A thin metal sheet is opaque to visible light, but not to x-rays.

What happens to light when opaque meets a transparent material?
shadow formed on the other side of transparent material
What is a material that light cannot travel through?
light can travel through anything. Light here means electromagnetic radiation, not just visible light. Visible light cannot go through anything opaque, such as metal sheets. Other types of electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays, can pass through almost anything. If you want the name ofa material where no EM radiation can pass through, it's thick lead sheet.
What do you call something that blocks light?
OPAQUE is the word that describes an object or substance that blocks light (or other energy form). TRANSLUCENT describes objects that allow transmission of light, but scatter it from the original form or direction. TRANSPARENT describes objects that allow the passage of light, usually optically clear substances such as glass.
What is the definition of opaque material?
Impenetrable by light; neither transparent nor translucent.Not reflecting light; having no luster: an opaque finish...Impenetrable by a form of radiant energy other than visible light: a chemical solution opaque to x-rays..So obscure as to be unintelligible: "opaque, elusive, minimal meanings" .Obtuse of mind; dense. See synonyms at dark...Opaque materials are materials that you cannot see things through it..Add Me AuBrEy ZyRenE SolAs EnTrInA
Does refraction take place in opaque objects?
Refraction is the phenomenon which allows light to pass from one medium into the other. But opaque object will not allow light to pass through. So refraction becomes impossible in case of opaque objects.

Clear transparent opaque?
Clear and transparent are the synonymous. A transparent material allows light to pass through. Opaque, on the other hand, do not allow light to pass through

Apart from opaque material what other materials form light shadows?
A converging (convex) lens will produce a shadow with the focal point in the center.
Energy that travels at speed of light?
That can be light, or some other electromagnetic wave (light is an electromagnetic wave), or gravitational waves.
How does the ozone layer protects the earth from uv rays coming from the sun?
Some gasses are opaque to certain wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ozone O3 is opaque to UV rays and blocks them. Other gasses are opaque to other wavelengths.
Give an example of opaque materials?
wood Think of any material that you cannot see through. Steel, Concrete, Granite,... These are opaque: Light does not pass from one side to the other. Examples of materials that are not opaque: Water, Glass, Air [a mixture of gases]

What happens to light energy when it is absorbed by an opaque object?
Since the object appears violet to your eye, it must be that violet light is the wavelength most efficiently reflected ... least efficiently absorbed ... by the object. To a greater or lesser degree, all wavelengths that are not reflected from the object are absorbed by it.
Is contruction paper tranculcent transparent or opaque?
An opaque material has a more dense pattern of molecules. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them. so then that means you could not see any light through the construction paper. because it is a kind of solid and it is hard to see through a unclear solid.
Does an opaque object reflect or absorb light?
An opaque object absorbs all the light that hits it. That's whythere's never any light left to come out of the other side.
