What characteristic of light is based on the fact that light waves do not need matter to transmit energy?
The characteristic of light based on the fact that light waves do not need matter to transmit energy is its ability to travel through a vacuum. Light can propagate in empty space, unlike sound waves which require a medium such as air to transmit energy.
Can opaque transmit any light?
No, opaque materials do not transmit any light because they do not allow light to pass through them. Light is either absorbed or reflected by opaque materials, resulting in little to no transmission of light.
Which term describes matter that scatters light allowing only a part of the light rays to transmit through?
The term for matter that scatters light and allows only a part of the light rays to transmit through is "translucent." This quality can be seen in materials like frosted glass or wax paper.
What is a term for materials that do not transmit light?
Opaque materials do not transmit light.
Matter can absorb and reflect light?
Yes, matter can absorb light when it interacts with it, causing the energy of the light to be converted into internal energy within the material. Matter also reflects light when the surface of the material does not absorb the light's energy but instead bounces it back. The color of the material is determined by which wavelengths of light are absorbed and which are reflected.
Matter that does not transmit any light is?
Opaque
What is the matter that doesnt transmit any light?
Dark Matter throughout the Universe does not give off or absorb light.

Which term describes matter that does not allow light to transmit through?
opaque...
What describes matter that transmits light but that but does not transmit an image?
transparent or translucent
Can opaque transmit any light?
No, opaque materials do not transmit any light because they do not allow light to pass through them. Light is either absorbed or reflected by opaque materials, resulting in little to no transmission of light.

Can light transmit power?
Light can't transmit power, but can be transformed to electricity to run motors that converts to any kind of power. You need a light source and solar panel.
Is flourecent light a matter?
The light itself is the same as any light and is not matter.
What is a term for materials that do not transmit light?

The color of the material is determined by which wavelengths of light are absorbed and which are reflected.
What is transmitting light?
Light is said to be transmitting when it is passing through any matter i.e. not through a vacuum but through a gas, liquid or solid. Light waves move at their highest speed when passing through a vacuum and slow down when passing through matter due to their interaction with the electrons around atoms, molecules or crystal lattices. Optical fibres made of special types of glass are used to transmit light signals in a similar way to copper wires used to transmit electrical signals.
