Are people opaque objects?


Our bodies are transparent or opaque depends on what kind of light or rays we are using. For example, to the normal sunlight, our bodies are opaque. To the UltraViolet rays from the sun, we're transparent. For X-rays, most of our soft tissues and organs are transparent, but our bones are not transparent. So we might as well be considered translucent for X-rays. For other radioactive rays like gamma rays, etc our bodies are completely transparent.
