substances

Question 1

transparent substance

Answer 1

allows direct transmission of light - all=no scattering

e.g. clear glass, pure water

Question 2

translucent substance

Answer 2

allows diffuse transmission of light-transmit most light but scatter as it passes through (also reflects some light)

e.g. frosted glass, cloudy water

Question 3

opaque substance

Answer 3

allows no transmission of light. Instead, light is reflected or absorbed or a combo of both.

e.g. mirrors (reg reflection), white surfaces (diffuse reflection), black surfaces (absorption), coloured surfaces (reflection and absorption)
