Light Behavior Light behaves differently when it strikes different types

of materials.

A transparent material allows light to pass through it because it is not absorbed or reflected. Objects can be seen clearly when viewed through

transparent materials. Air, glass, and water are examples of materials that are

transparent. A translucent material scatters or absorbs some of the light that strikes it and allows some of the light to pass through it. Objects appear as blurry shapes when viewed though

translucent materials. Waxed paper and frosted glass are examples of

materials that are translucent.An opaque material does not allow light to pass through. Light is either reflected from or absorbed by an opaque material. Wood, metals, and thick paper are examples of

material that are opaque.
