1. Reflect the light: In this case, the object bounces off the light, causing it to change direction. This is why we can see objects when light is reflected off of them.

2. Absorb the light: In this case, the object takes in the light and converts it into another form of energy, usually heat. This is why black objects appear to be hotter than white objects, since black objects absorb more light than white objects.

3. Transmit the light: In this case, the light passes through the object without being reflected or absorbed. This is why we can see through clear objects, such as glass.

When an object blocks the passage of light through it, it is either reflecting or absorbing the light. In the case of opaque objects, such as walls, the object is absorbing all of the light that hits it. This means that no light is transmitted through the object, which is why we can't see through opaque objects.

In the case of translucent objects, such as frosted glass, the object is absorbing some of the light that hits it, but it is also transmitting some of the light. This means that some light is able to pass through the object, which is why we can see through translucent objects.

In the case of transparent objects, such as clear glass, the object is transmitting all of the light that hits it. This means that all of the light is able to pass through the object, which is why we can see clearly through transparent objects.

The type of material an object is made of determines how it will interact with light. Opaque objects are made of materials that absorb light, translucent objects are made of materials that transmit some light and absorb some light, and transparent objects are made of materials that transmit all light.
