1. Light A object can scatter light making it impossible to see objects through it. a. translucent c. transparent b. opaque d. shiny 2. Light waves that bounce off a smooth surface are said to have been a. refracted c. radiated b. reflected d. bounced B. Which among the following colors of visible light has the longest wavelength ? a. green c. orange b. blue d. red If you put an object in a transparent glass of water and look at it through the glo bent due to a. radiation c. refraction b. absorption d. reflection Which object below will allow light to pass through it? a. a wooden box c. a glass of water a ceramic tile d. a mirror
Some of the light may be absorbed, but it is possible to see objects through the material. Translucent materials allow some light through them but it is scattered so it is impossible to see a clear image through the material.
Reflection is when incident light (incoming light) hits an object and bounces off. Very smooth surfaces such as mirrors reflect almost all incident light.
Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength
Refraction is the bending of light (it also happens with sound, water and other waves) as it passes from one transparent substance into another.
When light encounters transparent materials, almost all of it passes directly through them.
