What does an opaque object do to the light?

An opaque object transmits very little light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs most of it.


What will happen when light strikes a opaque object?

When light strikes an opaque object, the object absorbs the light energy and does not transmit it through the material. This absorption of light causes the object to become warmer. The energy is either emitted as thermal radiation or reflected off the surface.


Why can you see opaque objects?

Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, so they reflect or absorb light rays instead. When light strikes an opaque object, it scatters in different directions, some of which enter our eyes, allowing us to see the object.


When light is bounced off an object it cannot pass through it is?

There are many objects that no light can pass through, although of course, it depends on what type of light you're talking about. The name of the type of object that visible light cannot pass through is called opaque.


What is produced when light strikes on opaque object?

When light strikes an opaque object, the light is either absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The object appears to be a certain color because it reflects certain wavelengths of light and absorbs the rest.


When you cannot see through a substance is called?

If you can't see through an object clearly it is an opaque object.


Can you see through a opaque object?

No, that is what opaque means. Light does not go through an opaque object. An object that is translucent will allow light through, but is opaque enough to keep you from seeing clearly through it (think about frosted glass used for bathroom windows). Transparent is "see through".


A material that reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes it is?

A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.


Is a book opaque object?

Yes. Opaque means you can not see any light through the object.


Is air an opaque object?

No, air is not an opaque object. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, but air is transparent and allows light to pass through easily.


What do you call an object that lets no light pass through?

An object that lets no light pass through is called opaque.


How can a transparent object become translucent or opaque?

A transparent object can become translucent by adding particles or imperfections that scatter light as it passes through. To become opaque, the object needs to absorb or reflect most of the light that strikes it, preventing any light from transmitting through. Changing the chemical composition, thickness, or surface texture of the material can alter its transparency.
