For clear perception, it can be defined as if through one object nothing can be seen at all, is called Opaque Object. What is an Opaque Object?Īn object that does not allow any kind of light transmission is called an Opaque Object. When light encounters this kind of object, allows some of the light to travel through. Materials such as butter paper, frosted glass, and ground glass are examples of the translucent object. It can be defined as there are some objects that allow minimum light transmission, therefore it does not allow seeing completely through the object, is called a translucent object. What is a Translucent Object?Īn object that does not allow complete light transmission, and blocks a certain amount of light, is called a translucent object. For example, objects made with clear glass are see-through objects. In the process when light encounters those materials, the light will pass completely through them. Materials such as water, air, or glass (which is completely clear) are considered transparent.

It can be defined as if anything can be seen through any object, which means it allows the light to pass, is known as a transparent object (Chen, Han & Wong, 2018). The material decides the light will pass in the amount of hundred per cent or Less than that or will completely get blocked.įigure 1: Translucent, transparent and Opaque Objects What is a transparent object?Īn object that allows complete light transmission is called a transparent object. It all depends on a very basic thing, the material of the object. The object is letting the light pass or it is creating an obstruction, depending on what the three types of objects are named. The material is directly connected to the light transmission process that made anything visible in this world.

Based on this material the views of and characteristics of objects, change. The properties of the objectĮvery object that can be seen in any corner of the world is made of some specific material.

On the other hand, if the object is made of one kind of material that can block the light transmission completely, it is called an opaque object. If the object allows a hundred per cent light transmission it is called transparent, and if the light transmission capacity of the object is less than a hundred per cent then it is a translucent object. identify examples of materials that are transparent, translucent, and opaque.The light transmission of any object completely depends on the basic material of the objects. differentiate characteristics of transparent, translucent and opaque materials andĥ. describe the uses of materials that can block, absorb, and transmit light Ĥ. cite examples of materials that can block, absorb, and transmit light ģ. describe how materials block (reflect), absorb and transmit (refract) light Ģ. Lesson 2 – Transparent, Translucent and Opaque MaterialsĪfter going through this module, you are expected to:ġ.Lesson 1 – How Light Interacts with Different Materials.The module is divided into two lessons, namely: Specifically, this module will help you describe the ability of the material to block, absorb or transmit light to its use. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. It is here to help you describe how light interacts with different materials.

This module was designed and written with you in mind. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of this SLM. We trust that you will be honest in using these. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check your learning. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM. Each part shall guide you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you. Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.Įach SLM is composed of different parts. This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home.
