Wax paper is typically translucent, allowing some light to pass through while also diffusing it. Therefore, it primarily transmits light but also scatters it due to its semi-transparent nature.

Would rather reflect than refract light?

Mirrors and other shiny surfaces.


What does light refract?

everything does. theoretically the only thing that does not refract light would be something that is pure black, although it is doubtful it is physically possible to make something that does that.Additional answerI presume you mean balloons. I also think you might mean reflect rather than refract, because why would a balloon refract light?


What would the world be like if light did not reflect or refract?

If light did not reflect or refract, objects would appear dark and invisible, as there would be no way for light to bounce off their surfaces or change direction when passing through different mediums. This would make it nearly impossible to see, resulting in a world without vision and a complete lack of visual perception.


Do transparent objects reflect light?

No, a transparent object would totally transmit all light through it. However there are no transparent objects, and objects which we think of as being transparent are in fact translucent. All objects absorb at least some light. Glass for instance will transmit about 90% or so of visible light and reflect the rest. A transparent object will invariably have edges. Those edges are typically polished to facilitate transmission. A polished surface will always reflect some light.


Does a computer reflect and absorb light?

Yes, or it would be invisible. The material is like everything else.


Opaque absorb or reflect light?

Glass reflects some of the light that hits it, absorbs some of the lightthat enters it, but 'transmits' most of the light that hits it. That's whyyou can see things through it pretty easily.


Can light be absorbed by any object?

Yes, all objects have the capacity to absorb light to some extent. The amount of light absorbed depends on the object's material composition and properties. Some objects may reflect or transmit light more effectively than others.

Does a cloud reflect light?

Yes, a cloud reflects light, otherwise you couldn't see it. White clouds reflect a lot of light and dark clouds reflect less. They also transmit light, or else it would go completely dark when it's overcast.


What color would a green object under red light?

It would be black becasue the object would absorb all the red light, and there would be no green light for it to reflect


Why would painting rooftops white help save the planet?

I suppose it would reflect solar energy back into space rather than absorb it on earth
