Study Notes
Opaque Objects
- Opaque means no light passes through, making it impossible to see through the object.
- Examples:
- Trash can: Completely dark inside with no visibility.
- Shoes: Light does not penetrate, preventing a view of feet.
- Phone: Light does not pass through, only appears on the surface.
- Plate: A solid surface with no translucency.
- Apple: Solid outer layer blocking light.
- Watermelon: No light penetrates, maintaining a hidden interior.
- Wooden board: Completely solid with no light transmission.
Translucent Objects
- Translucent allows some light to pass through but not enough for clear visibility.
- Examples:
- Kleenex/tissue: Shadows are visible as light passes partially.
- Stained windows: Beautiful colors can be seen due to the partial light transmission.
- Gummy bears: Some light allows for a glimpse of contents.
- Shower door: Partially obscured images provide privacy.
- One sheet of paper: Allows limited visibility with blurred outlines.
- Frosted glass: Only blurred images or shadows can be seen.
- Wax paper: Some light allows for unclear shapes and colors.
Transparent Objects
- Transparent allows light to fully pass through, providing a clear view of objects behind.
- Examples:
- Fish tank: Clear visibility of fish and contents inside.
- Magnifying glass: Objects appear altered but remain clear.
- Glasses: Perfect clarity with light passing seamlessly.
- Pure water: Transparency enables clear view of objects submerged.
- Thin clear plastic sheets: Light travels through easily for clear visibility.
- Glass: Radiantly clear with complete light transparency.
Key Concepts
- Opaque: No visibility; light blocked entirely.
- Translucent: Some light passes; unclear images.
- Transparent: Full visibility; light passes effortlessly.
