Solution:

An opaque object is neither transparentb nor translucent .

When light strikes an interface between two substances, in general some may be reflected, some absorbed, some scattered, and the rest transmitted (also see refraction).

Examples of opaque objects include wood, gold, cement, metal, some types of colored plastic, vegetation and so on.

When light strikes an opaque object it is either absorbed by the object or it is bounced off or reflected by the object.

For example, white objects reflect light, which is why they are cooler to the touch .
