An opaque material does not allow light to pass through it. These materials typically reflect or absorb light, preventing it from transmitting through the substance. Examples include metals, wood, and thick plastics.
This is called opacity. Materials that are opaque do not allow light to pass through them.
When light cannot pass through an object, it is called opacity. This means that the material does not allow light to travel through it and blocks the transmission of light.
A material that light can travel through is called a transparent material. These materials allow light to pass through without scattering or being absorbed. Glass, air, and water are examples of transparent materials.
These terms refer to the ability of a material to allow light to pass through it. Transparent materials allow light to pass through clearly, translucent materials allow some light to pass through but not clearly, and opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through.
A material that only allows some light to pass through is called translucent. Unlike transparent materials, which allow all light to pass through, translucent materials diffuse the light, allowing only some of it to pass.
