Question

Nishant puts an object in front of a beam of light and notices that a dark, sharp shadow was immediately formed. What type of object did he place in front of the light?

• A. A transparent object
• B. A translucent object
• C. An opaque object
• D. A flexible object

Answer 1

The correct option is C An opaque object

Opaque objects are those that do not allow any light to pass through them hence cast dark and sharp shadows when placed in the path of light. On the other hand, translucent objects are those that come in between opaque and transparent materials hence do not cast dark and sharp shadows when placed in the path of light.
