Does opaque material reflect light?

No, opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them, so they absorb or scatter light rather than reflecting it. Materials like wood, metal, and plastic are examples of opaque materials.

What are materials called when they block the light?

Materials that block light are commonly referred to as opaque materials. This means that they do not allow light to pass through them, resulting in a shadow being cast on the surface opposite to the light source. Materials such as metals, wood, and certain plastics are examples of opaque materials.
