Question

When light strikes an opaque material, which of the following accurately describes what happens to the light rays? Some of the light passes through it but that light is quickly scattered; some of the light is absorbed as heat and some is reflected off the surface Most of the light passes through it, but some is also reflected and refracted None of the light passes through it; some of the light is absorbed as heat but most is reflected off the surface Half of the light rays pass through heating the substance and the other half are reflected off the surface casting a shadow

Answer 1

None of the light passes through it; some of the light is absorbed as heat but most is reflected off the surface.  This is how you see objects.  reflected light from them hits your eye.  (Opaque means not transparent)

Answer 2

Answer:

None of the light passes through it some of the light is absorbed as heat but most is reflected off the surface

Explanation:

The materials are of three types i.e. transparent, translucent and opaque materials. Opaque materials are the materials that do not allow the light rays to pass through it. Some of the examples of opaque materials are wood, metals, dark colored plastics, bricks etc.

Usually light some many phenomenons like scattering, absorption, reflection etc.

Hence, the correct statement about opaque material is " None of the light passes through it, some of the light is absorbed as heat but most is reflected off the surface".
