As radiation enters a solid or liquid, the light waves are absorbed and reflected by the atoms. the resulting reflection from an atom can be in any direction and is random. you can understand opacity in terms of the scattering of radiation. The more opaque, the more scattering.

(The truth is far more complicated than this, check out Richard Feynmans lectures on "Quantum Electro Dynamics" to learn the reality of it. )

What is the relationship between the acceleration of an object change in relation to its mass
yarga [219]

The relationship between mass and acceleration is an inverse proportionality

Explanation:

The relationship between the acceleration of an object and its mass is given by Newton's second law, which states that:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

From the equation, we notice that if the force on the object is kept constant, then the mass and the acceleration are inversely proportional to each other. This means that:

  • If the mass of the object is increased, its acceleration will decrease
  • If the mass of the object is decreased, its acceleration will increase
