Which types of objects do not allow light to pass?
Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them. Transparent objects allow light to pass through them and we can see through these objects clearly. Translucent objects allow light to pass through them partially.
What objects allow light to pass through them partially?
Translucent objects allow light to partially pass through them. Hence, (d) is the correct answer.
Why do some objects allow light to pass through them while others objects do not?
When resonance occurs between a light wave and an object, the object absorbs the energy of that light wave. The light energy stays inside the object when resonance occurs, and this is the reason for absorption of light.
Why can’t light pass through solid objects?
Light acts on the metal and makes the electrons move. This, however, results in an energy loss, as the electrons feel a resistance and thus the radiation loses energy. This can be formulated more precisely with counteracting electric fields. That’s why all good conductors are opaque.
What allows light to pass through it?
Translucent objects allow some light to travel through them. Materials like air, water, and clear glass are called transparent. When light encounters transparent materials, almost all of it passes directly through them. Glass, for example, is transparent to all visible light.
What objects allow some light to pass through them?
Materials that allow most all light to pass through them are called transparent. Examples of transparent items are glass, water, and air. Those materials that allow some light to pass through them are called translucent and include things like frosted glass and wax paper.
What allows light to pass through?
Translucent objects
Translucent objects allow some light to travel through them. Materials like frosted glass and some plastics are called translucent. When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through them. The light does not pass directly through the materials.
Why does light pass through glass but not other solid objects?
Photons pass through glass because they are not absorbed. And they are not absorbed because there is nothing which “absorbs” light in visual frequencies in glass. You may have heard that ultraviolet photons are absorbed by glass, so glass is not transparent for them.
Why can photons pass through glass?
Photons pass through glass because they are not absorbed. This is because there is nothing which “absorbs” light in visual frequencies in glass. Light is an electromagntic wave, comprising of changing electric field, which produces a changing magnetic field, which produces a changing electric field.
