No, that is what opaque means. Light does not go through an opaque object. An object that is translucent will allow light through, but is opaque enough to keep you from seeing clearly through it (think about frosted glass used for bathroom windows). Transparent is "see through".
The answer depends on the medium which it then travels through.
When light hits glass: -- some of it bounces off the glass surface and goes back away from the glass (reflection) -- some of it is absorbed into the glass and never heard from again (absorption) -- some of it goes through the glass and comes out the other side (transmission).
Glass is a transparent medium from Visible Light, which means, visible light can go through it without being blocked. Glass is NOT transparent for the entire electromagnetic spectrum though, Infra-Red light cannot go through glass (it blocks it much like a wall does to visible light!)Generally, the shorter the wavelength (as you go from red to violet to microwaves to x-ray to gamma), the more objects it can penetrate (which is the reason x-ray can penetrate your skin and flesh, but not your bones).
No water can't go through glass.

Air.
Yes it can. Unless the plastic and/or glass is too thick. Some types of glass and plastics make it harder for light to go through. ----------- The question is: Can light pass througth plastic or glass? The answer has to be either "both" or "glass", instead simply saying "yes"
yes because light will have to go through the coloring.

depends on what kind of transparent item , if it is a glass cup the light will get dimmer.

It is focussed by a lens (a sort of high-spec magnifying glass).
it is translucent because it lets the light shine through
Yes it would because if the glass was clear the prism would reflect off of the light and go right through the glass.
