Chapter 12, Problem 31R

To determine

To explain: an object which can be seen through clearly.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

An object which can be seen through clearly is called a transparent object. The transparent material allows you to clearly see the objects on the other side.

Transparent object allows light to pass through them. Examples of transparent objects are: glass, air, water etc. When light enters a transparent object almost all of it passes directly through it. Thus the property of transparency allows an object to be seen clearly through it.

Conclusion:

Thus, an object which can be seen clearly through it is called transparent object.
