What statement describes how light behaves when it strikes a translucent material?
Light is scattered
How is an opaque object different from a translucent object in terms of its ability to transmit light?
Opaque objects don't allow light to pass through them while translucent objects slow the passage of light but ultimately allow it to pass through.
Is a CD a translucent object?
A CD is not considered a translucent object. Translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but scatter it in different directions, making the object appear blurry or opaque. In contrast, a CD is reflective and opaque, as it does not allow light to pass through it.
What lets some of the light through an object so objects on the other side are seen blurry?
That is essentially the definition of a "translucent" material. Some translucent materials include: wax paper, glass bricks, some forms of fiberglass, and some forms of plastic.a translucent material
What happens to light rays when they hit rough opaque objects?
When light rays hit rough opaque objects, such as a rough surface, they undergo diffuse reflection. This means that instead of reflecting off the surface at a single angle like with smooth surfaces, the light rays are scattered in various directions due to the uneven nature of the surface. As a result, the surface appears matte or non-reflective.
