An opaque object is any object you cannot see through, such as a book. When a material is opaque, it reflects or absorbs all light that strikes it. Other examples of opaque objects: a mirror, a wooden floor.

Within programming, an opaque object may be a datastructure that shares the characteristic that one cannot see through it and thus cannot change its inner properties without using functions designed for the purpose. This may be accomplished in several ways depending on the programming language, for example by using private properties, making it syntactically impossible to refer to the inner properties, or by specifying that the structure of a certain object is implementation-specific, so that when conforming to some standard or specification, code becomes implementation-specific unless strictly using standard- or specification-specific functions.

The opposite of opaque is transparent.

There are many objects that no light can pass through, although of course, it depends on what type of light you're talking about. The name of the type of object that visible light cannot pass through is called opaque.

Is a book opaque object?

Yes. Opaque means you can not see any light through the object.


How is the color of an opaque object determend?

The color of an opaque object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects. The object absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others, which our eyes perceive as color. For example, an object that appears red absorbs most colors of light except for red, which it reflects.


What shadow appears when light hits an opaque object?

When light hits an opaque object, a shadow is created on the opposite side of the object where the light is blocked. The shadow is a dark area where light cannot pass through due to the solid nature of the opaque object.


Can you see through a opaque object?

No, that is what opaque means. Light does not go through an opaque object. An object that is translucent will allow light through, but is opaque enough to keep you from seeing clearly through it (think about frosted glass used for bathroom windows). Transparent is "see through".


What is behind an opaque object?

An opaque object does not allow light to pass through it, so what is behind the object cannot be seen. This is because light is either absorbed or reflected by the object, blocking the view of what is behind it.


What happens when light rays hit an opaque object?

When light rays hit an opaque object, they are absorbed or reflected. The object appears opaque because it reflects most of the light that hits it and absorbs very little. This is why we cannot see through opaque objects.


Is air an opaque object?

No, air is not an opaque object. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, but air is transparent and allows light to pass through easily.
