Light makes things visible to us. We see an object when light passing through it is reflected. 

We cannot see a book which is placed.

a- Behind a wooden screen because the wooden screen is opaque so it does not allow light to pass through it.

b- In a dark room because there is no light to be reflected by the book. Thus, due to no reflection, the book is not visible.
