Question

Which of the following is the main reason of transparency of light waves ?

• A. transmission
• B. refraction
• C. reflection
• D. diffusion
• E. absorption

Answer 1

The correct option is A transmission

Objects are visible to the eye when light strikes the surface and reflects back itself into the eye. Opaque objects show this phenomenon.

However in the transparent objects, the incident light on their surface gets transmitted, hence does not reflect back to eye and appear transparent. The light from the other side of the transparent objects, instead, gets transmitted to the eye.
