Answer:

1) some of the energy is transmitted, whilst the rest is absorbed and reflected

Step-by-step explanation:

"When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through them. The light does not pass directly through the materials. ... Opaque objects block light from traveling through them. Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to thermal energy."
