Multiple Choice

1. Why is a brick wall considered an opaque object?

1

a. Brick is made from materials that absorb and scatter light, preventing it from passing through.

2

b. Brick has a rough and porous surface that deflects light in different directions, making it impossible for it to transmit light.

3

c. The thickness of a brick wall is sufficient to completely block the transmission of light.

4

d. Brick contains pigments and impurities that absorb and reflect light, causing it to appear opaque.

12

Multiple Choice

2. Why is tracing paper considered translucent instead of transparent or opaque?

1

a. Tracing paper allows some light to pass through it but also scatters the light, making it difficult to see objects clearly.

2

b. Tracing paper is made of materials that do not absorb or reflect light, but instead refract the light in different directions, causing objects to appear slightly blurry. This characteristic makes it translucent.

3

c. Tracing paper is not completely transparent because it is coated with a fine layer of wax or oil that refracts and scatters the light as it passes through.

4

d.Tracing paper is not opaque because it allows some light to pass through it, but not enough to make objects clearly visible.
