The light was absorbed by the opaque parchment paper
The light was reflected by the opaque parchment paper
The light is refracted by the transparent parchment paper
The light is scattered by the translucent parchement paper

A beam of light is directed towards a material. The wave is absorbed. What can be concluded about the material?
It is transparent
It is translucent
It is opaque
We cannot conclude anything about the material because we don't have enough information
