Concept explainers
To Distinguish:Among transparent, translucent, and opaque objects.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Transparent material allows all light to pass from it, while on the other hand, a translucent material enables the passing of partial light from it, and last but not the least, an opaque object does not permit light to pass through.
A transparent material is an entity, from which light is transmitted and the example of this material is glass. But translucent objects require all the light to pass from them while opaque objects do not require light to pass from them.
Conclusion:
Hence,translucent objects, therefore, allow the small amount of light to pass from it, opaque objects do not allow any light to pass through it, and transparent objects permit light to pass through.
