Question

Which of the following types of objects transmits light without scattering it? *

opaque
transparent
translucent

Answer 1

Answer: The objects that transmit light without scattering it are termed as transparent objects.

Explanation :

The reflection, transmission and scattering of lights depending on the type of objects.

• Opaque objects: The objects that do not allow light to pass through are opaque objects. Stone is an example of an opaque object.

• Transparent objects: The objects that transmit light without scatting it are transparent objects. For example air, water etc.

• Translucent objects: The objects that allow only some portion of light to travel through are translucent objects.

So, the correct option is (b) "Transparent ".

Answer 2

Answer: The transparent objects transmit the light without scattering in it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Translucent objects: Translucent object allows some light to pass through them. It does not allow light directly to pass through it. It is scattered when the light passes through it. For example, frosted glass.

Opaque objects: Opaque object does not allow light to pass through it. For example, plastic.

Transparent objects: Transparent object allows light to pass through it. It allows light to pass through without scattering. For example, glass.

Therefore, the correct answer is transparent objects.
