Question

what does it mean to say that an object is opaque? a. it absorbs all visible light. b. it reflects all visible light. c. light will not transmit through it. d. light will transmit through it.

Explanation:

An opaque object does not allow light to pass through it. Option A (absorbing all visible light) is incorrect as opaque objects can reflect some light. Option B (reflecting all visible light) is incorrect as no object reflects all visible light. Option D (light transmitting through it) is incorrect as that would make the object transparent or translucent. Option C (light not transmitting through it) aligns with the definition of an opaque object.

Answer:

C. Light will not transmit through it.
