What is light traveling though an object called?

If light travels through an object, it is still called light. If you want to specify, you might say "light travelling through an object".


What is an object called that lets some light through?

An object that lets some light through is called translucent. Translucent objects allow light to pass through them, but scatter it in different directions, making the object appear blurry or semi-transparent.


What happens to light when it travels through transparent object?

When light travels through a transparent object, it is transmitted through the material without being absorbed or scattered. The speed of light may change as it passes through the object, causing the light to refract or bend.


What is refracted when it travels through an object and is bent?

light


What do you call an object that lets light travel through it?

An object that allows light to pass through it is called a transparent object.


Is the passage of light through an object?

The passage of light through an object refers to the phenomenon where light travels through the material of the object, either allowing it to pass through (transparency), be partially absorbed or reflected (translucency), or prevent it from passing through (opacity). The interaction of light with the atoms and molecules of the object determines its optical properties.


What is an object that let's no light pass through called?

An object that lets no light pass through is called opaque. This means that light is unable to penetrate or pass through the object, resulting in the absence of transparency.


What is the proof that light travels in straight light?

Light actually travels in waves.This is known to be true because there are only 3 ways that energy can be transferred. As you probably already know, light does not need a medium to travel through because it travels through space. Electromagnetic waves are the only form of energy transfer that do not require a medium to travel through.


when light passes stright through an object, that object is called?

When light passes through an object, we say it is transmitted. Transparent objects transmit a lot of light. basically it is called shadow


What fact about the way light travels explains why shadows are made?

Light travels in straight lines. When an object obstructs the path of light, a shadow is created because the light cannot pass through the object. The shadow is formed on the side opposite to the direction of the light source.


What is the scientific name for a object that does let light through?

An object that does not allow light to pass through it is called an opaque object.


When an object is distorted in water what is it called?

When an object appears distorted in water, it is called refraction. Refraction occurs because light travels at different speeds in water compared to in air, causing the object to appear shifted or distorted when viewed through the water.
