It reflects off of the object, and this is the light we see when we view opaque objects; it can be absorbedby the object, and we do not see this light; or the light can pass through the object in such a way that we can clearly 'see through' the object, such as transparent glass, or light can pass through the object and only appear as a glow, not an image, as is the case with some types of translucent plastic, frosted glass or other kinds of material.

Does and object have to be solid?

No, an object does not have to be solid. Objects can be gas, liquid, or solid depending on their physical state. Objects can also be a combination of different states of matter.


What objects block light but also absorbs light?

Any solid black object does that.


Does fire have a shadow?

No, fire does not have a shadow because it emits light and does not block light like solid objects do.


Can solid objects allow light to pass through it?

No, solid objects do not allow light to pass through them because the particles are tightly packed and do not allow for the transmission of light. Materials such as glass and plastic are transparent solids that allow light to pass through due to their molecular structure and arrangement.


Can you use light to push a solid object?

Yes, light can exert a force on solid objects through radiation pressure. This force is very small for everyday objects due to the low momentum of photons, but it can be more significant for objects with large surface areas or in specific experimental setups.


If light does not pass through solid objects then what happens to the light?

It either reflects off, or is absorbed and converts to another form of energy.


Do flames have shadows?

Yes, flames do not have shadows because they emit light and do not block light from passing through them, unlike solid objects.


Can only solid objects exert forces?

Is gravity a solid? Physical collisions of solid objects is not the only way that forces can act on solid objects.


What wireless technologies cannot transmits through solid objects?

Light-based wireless technologies such as Li-Fi typically cannot transmit through solid objects, as they rely on light signals that require line-of-sight communication. Additionally, higher frequency wireless technologies like millimeter wave (mmWave) can struggle to penetrate solid objects due to their short wavelengths.


Are black holes solid objects?

No, black holes are not solid objects. They are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them. They are formed when massive stars collapse under their own gravity.


Objects that don't let light pass through them?

Objects that don't let light pass through them are called opaque. These objects absorb or reflect light, preventing it from passing through. Materials like wood, metal, and cardboard are examples of opaque objects.


What objects in the are house are opaque?

Your walls, doors, and furniture are typically opaque objects in the house. They do not allow light to pass through them, which makes them solid and non-transparent.
