The definition of opaque is not capable of having light pass through or hard to understand. 1  An example of opaque is the quality of a black sheet of paper. 2  An example of opaque is the study of astrophysics.
Shadows are formed when an opaque object is placed in the path of light rays. An object through which no light can pass is known as opaque. One such example is your body. Since light cannot pass through your body, it forms a dark region. This dark region where the light cannot reach is known as a shadow. Opaque objects form clear dark shadows. A transparent object does not make any shadow as light passes straight through it. Translucent objects create faint shadows as light is able to pass only partially through them.
