since white ligth actually contains all colors of light, the transparent material only lets its color of light through. ie: blue filter allows blue light in

What happens when the light is directed at a transparent material?

When light is directed at a transparent material, such as glass or water, it passes through the material with little to no obstruction. The material may refract or bend the light, but it generally allows the light to transmit through it, making the material appear clear or see-through.


What happens to light when opaque meets a transparent material?

When light encounters an opaque material adjacent to a transparent material, most of the light is reflected and absorbed by the opaque material, while a small amount may be transmitted through the transparent material. The opaque material blocks the passage of light, creating a shadow on the transparent material.


What is the name of a material which you can see through?

Glass is a common material that is transparent and allows light to pass through, enabling vision of objects on the other side.


What happens when light hits a transparent material?

Even though you can see through a material..i.e. it is transparent...it may have color and a physicist will want to know this information. What type of light is hitting this material is important to include in your question as well as the type of transparent material. What type of light? (and the strength ...source would be great) What type of material? What color is the material? Answer: It allows light to pass through a material


What does a transparent material do with light?

A transparent material allows light to pass through it with minimal absorption or scattering. This results in a clear and see-through appearance, making the material easy to see through.

What happens when light is directed at a transparent matrial?

It is refracted or 'bent' at the surface of the transparent material. (Obviously, to be directed at a transparent material the light must be travelling through a material that is at least partially transparent.) Please see the link.


What happens to the color of light that are not transmitted through a transparent or a translucent material?

they reflected

the answer is transparent material


Is Styrofoam transparent?

No, Styrofoam is not transparent. It is an opaque material, meaning that light does not pass through it easily and it is not see-through.


What is the transparency of sphalerite?

transparent to opaque between the crystals to the rock


What happens when light strikes translucent material a transparent material and opaque material?

When light strikes a translucent material, it passes through but scatters in different directions, creating a diffused or blurred effect. In contrast, light passes through a transparent material with minimal scattering, allowing objects to be seen clearly on the other side. For an opaque material, light is absorbed or reflected, preventing it from passing through, resulting in no visibility on the other side.


Why does light changes its colour after passing through some transparent coloured like a red coloured transparent piece of glass or any such glass or matter?

When light passes through a colored transparent material, certain wavelengths of light are absorbed by the material while others are transmitted. The transmitted light has a different color because it is missing the wavelengths that were absorbed by the material. This causes the light to appear as a different color when it exits the material.
