In the illustration, the light ray striking the object is-
This is the term that describes when light passes through matter.
Transmission
Transparent
Translucent
Opaque
This describes when the atoms of matter absorb light, and converts the light into thermal energy.
Transmission
Reflection

In the illustration, the light ray striking the object is-
the passage of light through a medium
transmission
reflection
diffraction
absorption
Transfer of light energy to matter.

Occurs when light is sent in many direction as it passes through a medium.

transparent example
clear window
clear, light easily passes through it. It is easy to see other things through it.
light that we can't see because it goes into the object

It reflects or absorbs light and it cannot be seen through
wax paper
glass of water
transparent example
transmits light, but not as clearly as transparent things. More difficult to see through. It disperses much of the light.

aluminum foil
transmits light, but not as clearly as transparent things. More difficult to see through. It disperses much of the light.
Why does scattering of light occur?
Light rays are blocked and reflected to all directions by the clouds or particles in the air
Light rays are blocked and reflracted to all directions by the clouds or particles in the air
Light rays are passing through and refracted to all directions by the clouds or particles in the air
Which one of these diagrams represents scattering of light?
A
B
neither
