Question

a material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is
a) opaque.

b) translucent.

c) transparent.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the properties of each option:

• Option A: Opaque materials do not transmit light (they reflect or absorb most light), so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Translucent materials transmit some light but not nearly all (objects behind them are not clearly visible), so this is incorrect.
• Option C: Transparent materials transmit nearly all light with little resistance, allowing clear visibility of objects behind them, which matches the description.

Answer:

C) transparent.
