This pdf provides us with information about transparent, translucent, and opaque objects. Glass, for example, is transparent to all visible light. Translucent objects allow some light to travel through them. Materials like frosted glass and some plastics are called translucent. Opaque objects block light from traveling through them.
1.
2. Transparent
If an object is transparent, it means light completely passes through it and
you can see clearly through it.
3. Translucent
If an object is translucent, it means that some light passes through it but
the light is scattered so you can’t see clearly through it.
4. Opaque
If an object is opaque, it means no light can pass through it. It blocks
the light.
5. What Do You Think?
Look at these objects and decide if you think they are translucent,
transparent or opaque.
