Mirrors, metals, and some plastics are examples of opaque objects that reflect light. These materials have a smooth surface that allows light to bounce off and be reflected in a predictable manner.
When light rays hit an opaque object, they are absorbed or reflected. The object appears opaque because it reflects most of the light that hits it and absorbs very little. This is why we cannot see through opaque objects.
White Light
An object that does not let light pass through it is called opaque. It absorbs or reflects light, preventing it from transmitting through the object. Examples of opaque objects include wood, metal, and walls.
true
No, light cannot travel through an opaque object such as a wall because the material absorbs or reflects the light, preventing it from passing through. Opaque objects block the transmission of any form of light, making them appear solid and impenetrable.
Yes, both the Moon and Earth are considered opaque objects. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through, which is evident when observing the Moon and Earth; they block light and cast shadows. While the Moon reflects sunlight, it does not transmit it, confirming its opaque nature. Similarly, Earth is not transparent, as it absorbs and reflects light without allowing it to pass through.

Objects that don't let light pass through them are called opaque. These objects absorb or reflect light, preventing it from passing through. Materials like wood, metal, and cardboard are examples of opaque objects.
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.
Since it appears green in white light, it reflects the green part of the spectrum, absorbing all the other colors. In red light, it would not reflect any color, thus appearing black. Opaque objects absorb some of the light, and reflect the rest.
No, not all objects are opaque. Some objects are transparent (light passes through easily), translucent (light passes through but is diffused), or opaque (blocks light from passing through). It depends on the material and structure of the object.
No, opaque objects do not refract light. Refraction occurs when light passes through a medium with different optical properties, causing it to change direction. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, so there is no refraction.
Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, preventing transparency. They block the transmission of light and create shadows. Materials like metal, wood, and stone are examples of opaque objects.
