Find a room that can be made completely dark. In the room, tape a piece of white paper on the wall at eye level. Turn on the flashlight, and turn off the lights in the room. Observe what the light looks like as it hits the white paper. Next, place the clear plastic in front of the flashlight. Does the plastic affect how the light hits the paper on the wall? If so, how?
Part B.
Now place the waxed paper in front of the flashlight instead of the plastic. Does the waxed paper affect how the light hits the paper on the wall? Explain your response.

Answer :

Yes, it will hit the paper

#A

For plastic

  • Light will hit partially the paper and may in different direction slightly changed from initial.
  • This is why because plastic is transculent

#B

Same for wax

  • Wax is also transculent material so light will pass partially not fully
