What else can I help you with?
What is it called when light hits an object and some light goes through and some dont what is it called when the light does not go through the block?
Transparent = light goes through the object (like glass). Translucent = some light goes through the block but there is sufficient diffusion to prevent perception of distinct images. Opaque = No light can get through the object.
Can a light beam go through an object?
Light beams CAN go through an object, but most of the time they are refracted if they do, meaning the light rays are bent. If you've seen the Pink Floyd album cover with the prism and rainbow coming out, you can see the light beam goes through the prism but the different types of light in the light beam are broken up in to the rainbow Light can't always go through an object, though. If you hold up a rock (like granite) to light, the light wont go through it, although it might go around the rock, called diffraction. Windows, TV screens, lenses, ice cubes, light bulbs, diamonds - all these work or look better because light can go through them.
How does light pass through transparent?
Light passes through transparent materials because the atoms and molecules are arranged in a way that allows light to travel through without being absorbed or scattered. This means that the material does not disrupt the path of light, allowing it to transmit through in a straight line.
When light goes through a glass window the light is primarily what?
When light goes through a glass window, the light is primarily transmitted and refracted. Transmitted light passes through the glass without being absorbed or reflected, while refraction is the bending of light as it enters and exits the glass due to the change in speed.
What happens to the light rays when they pass through the optical fiber?
Light rays pass through the optical fiber by constantly reflecting off the walls of the fiber through a process called total internal reflection. This allows the light to travel long distances without significant loss of intensity.

What is the outer portion of the eye through which light passes to retina?
That part is called as pupil. Through this aperture the light goes in to retina.
Do all materials allow light to pass through?
No. May I suggest that you experiment next time and shine a light at a wall and see if there is light on the other side? Or perhaps even shine light at an opaque object and see if light goes through that
How does the speed of light change as light goes through different materials?
It slows down when travelling through materials whose refractive index (optical density, NOT physical density) is high. Gases generally have low refractive indices but with liquids and solids, there it depends on the substance.
What is the process that a photographer goes through when taking a photo?
A photographer goes through a process that involves composing the shot, adjusting camera settings, focusing, and capturing the image using light-sensitive materials or digital sensors.
What is it called when light that can travel through something?
Objects that allow most light to pass through are described as transparent. In contrast, translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but don't let you see objects. Opaque objects allow no light to pass through.
What are some ways in which materials affect how light is transmitted?
How much light a material absorbs or lets through depends mainly on what kind of material it is. Usually pure substances will not absorb light but rather lets light through or reflects light. Exceptions include carbon, uranium and others. The exact theory goes into detail in how electrons absorb that energy and move to a higher orbital but generally, a material will let light through if the electrons require excessive energy to jump to a higher orbital.
What goes through water but does not get wet?
Light

absorbed

What do light travel through?
As Gravity is merely distortions in 4 dimensional space time, Maxwell's theory of light can be re-written to suggest that light is a distortion through 5 dimensional space time. Light waves will travel through anthing that does not completely reflect them. Through the vacuum of space, they move without interference. And we know that light goes through window glass pretty well, too. There is a wide variation in the nature of materials and substances, and there is likewise variation in the ability of light to go through these things. Light won't go through a sheet of steel or a brick, but it will go through a block of clear acrylic plastic. There are many, many other substances that light will go through or not. If you can see through it, light can get through it. If you cannot see through it, light can't get through it. But you probably figured that out. Consider more materials and whether or not you can see a light bulb through them.
