What is opaque transparent and translucent?

Answer 1

opaque is anything that is not see-through or translucent. if light can not pass through opaque objects so it forms a shadow. Examples of opaque objects are:

*human beings and animal

*trees

*cardboard and anything which is solid and with a solid colour

transparent objects allow light to pass through them and one can see objects at the other end. the light passes through without being disturbed examples:

*water

*clear plastic and glass

translucent objects can let light pass through them but it gets disturbed on the way through so that one can not see clearly through them examples are:

*frosted glass

*tissue paper

*tinted glass

Answer 2

opaque-not transparent or translucent; impenetrable to light; not allowing light to pass through. transparent-having the property of transmitting rays of light through its substance so that bodies situated beyond or behind can be distinctly seen. translucent materials-Translucent materials offer a signifi cant color measurement challenge since they interact with light in far less controlled manner than most other materials. The color of a material is calculated from measurements of its relative spectral refl ectance or transmittance. When light is incident on an opaque non-metal or metal surface, the fi rst surface interaction determines the corresponding perception of gloss and color. Similarly, for transparent materials, light refl ected at the fi rst surface is responsible for the perception of gloss, while light transmitted straight through the material gives the color. Translucent materials have both opaque and transparent characteristics. Some incident light refl ects off the fi rst surface as gloss, while some enters the material and undergoes multiple scattering and light trapping within the material, resulting in a diffuse pattern of refl ectance. In a second interaction, light is scattered and transmitted through the sample, emerging on the other side in a diffuse pattern. As a result, color can be seen in both diffuse refl ectance and transmittance, depending on how the sample is viewed. opaque example-books,stone,shoes,wood,stem of a plant transparent example-diamond , Pure Water , Screen , Air , translucent materials -waterbottles, eyeglass lenses

Answer 3

Transparent: An object that can be seen through. An example would be a normal window.

Translucent: An object that cannot be seen through, but allows light to enter. An example would be a stained-glass window.

Opaque: An object that cannot be seen through and which does not allow light to enter. An example would be a brick wall.

Answer 4

Some light gets through something that is translucent. It is sort of like a foggy mirror.

Things that are transparent let nearly all the light through. this is like a clean window.

If something is opaque, no light gets through. this is like a wall

Answer 5

Opaque: wood, metal

Transparent: water, glass

Translucent: thin cloth, grocery bag

Answer 6

opaque does not let any light pass through while translucent lets most light get through

Answer 7

Give three examples of opaque,transparent and translucent.
