When light hits an opaque object, it is absorbed by the object's surface material, leading to a conversion of light energy into thermal energy. The opaque object does not transmit or reflect the light, causing the object to appear solid and non-translucent.

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.
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.
Yes, an opaque object can block light because it does not allow light to pass through it. When light hits an opaque object, the material absorbs or reflects the light, preventing it from passing through to the other side.
When light hits an opaque object, it is absorbed or reflected. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them, so the light is either absorbed by the material and converted into heat, or reflected off its surface. This is why we are unable to see through opaque objects.
You see color in an opaque object because of the way light interacts with its surface. When light hits the object, certain wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected back to your eyes, which gives the object its color. This reflected light is what enables you to see the color of the opaque object.
