Transparent matter transmits light but does not alter or scatter the light passing through. This allows light to pass through without distortion, making the object seem almost invisible. Examples of such matter include glass and air.

Matter that transmits light but no detail is said to be what?

The matter that transmits light but no detail is said to be translucent. Translucent materials allow light to pass through but scatter it in different directions, preventing a clear image from forming on the other side.


What describes matter that transmits light but that but does not transmit an image?

transparent or translucent


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 is the name of a disturbance that transmits energy through matter and space?

The name of a disturbance that transmits energy through matter and space is a "wave." This can include various types of waves such as sound waves, light waves, or seismic waves.


What type of matter transmits sound best?

A substance that transmits light readily is said to be transparent If it transmits light but diffuses it so that you cannot see though it clearly it is said to be what?

translucent


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.


Which object has the following characteristics reflects a lot of light absorbs a little light and transmits almost no light?

A mirror reflects a lot of light, absorbs very little light, and transmits almost no light.


What transmits most of the light that strikes it?

What transmits energy but not mass?

technically all waves transfer energy and not matter. A sound wave for example does move matter, but it does not transfer matter over the distance of the wave. If you are asking about waves that do not need matter as a medium, the best answer would be light waves. Light waves are produced by photons and although photons are effected by gravity, it is currently believed that they probably have no mass.
