Dear Wiki Questioner,
Light does not actually require a material to be transmitted! It is one of the oddest (and most important!) facts of physics. Unlike sound or heat (which are propagated by particles bumping into their neighbors... who bump into their neighbors... and so on), light is created when an electric field creates a nearby magnetic field, which in turn creates a new nearby electric field (that is why light is often called electromagnetic radiation). You can think of light as two forms of energy playing leapfrog, instead of a long chain of matter passing a letter from hand to hand.
Electric fields and magnetic fields do not need any material to create each other, they tend to do it naturally. This is why light from the sun can travel through the empty vacuum of space between the sun and the earth to reach us!
What else can I help you with?
Material that transmits some light and blocks some light?
A translucent material transmits some light while diffusing it, allowing some light to pass through but scattering it in different directions. This results in partial visibility through the material, as it both transmits and blocks some light.
What term for material that transmit light?
The term for a material that transmits light is "transparent." This means that the material allows light to pass through it without being scattered.
What is a material that does transmit light called?
A material that transmits light is called transparent. Examples of transparent materials include glass, water, and plastic.
What is a material transmits some of the light that reaches it?
A material that transmits some of the light that reaches it is called a transparent material. These materials allow light to pass through them, making them see-through to varying degrees depending on their properties. Glass, water, and clear plastics are common examples of transparent materials.
What is a material that transmits almost all the light striking it so that objects can be clearly seen through it?
A material that transmits almost all the light striking it so that objects can be clearly seen through it is called transparent. Glass is a common example of a transparent material that allows light to pass through, enabling us to see through it without distortion.

A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is?
A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is called transparency.

That which transmits light without scattering it?
A substance that transmits light without scattering it is called transparent. Transparent materials allow light to pass through them with minimal absorption or reflection, making them see-through or clear. Classic examples of transparent materials include glass, water, and air.
What is matter which transmits light but also scatters the light as it passes through the matter?
The matter that transmits light but scatters it as it passes through is known as a translucent material. This type of material allows some light to pass through but causes it to deviate from its original path due to scattering. Examples of translucent materials include frosted glass, certain plastics, and human skin.
What type of material transmits some of the light that reaches it and objects behind the material appear blurred?
Translucent materials transmit some light but scatter it, resulting in objects behind the material appearing blurred. The scattering of light within the material causes the blurring effect as light rays get deflected in different directions. Examples of translucent materials include frosted glass or wax paper.
What happens when you shine a light on a mug?
The mug reflects, absorbs, and transmits light. The material and color of the mug will determine how it interacts with the light - for example, a white mug will reflect more light compared to a black mug which will absorb more light.
An object that readily transmits light without distorting the images?
A material that readily transmits light without distorting images is called transparent. Materials like glass and certain plastics are examples of transparent substances that allow light to pass through them clearly, enabling clear viewing of objects on the other side.
