Hey,
Translucent materials have a phase lag of ~180 degrees. In these cases the emitted light will extinguish the original light (destructive interference). This effect is not immediate -- the light is will be extinguished as it progresses through the material.
Opaque materials don't re-emit light as much. The energy stays in the material, causing it to warm up. In other cases the light is reflected diffusively: in all directions.
HOPE THIS HELPS XD
