Basically we See that water creates shadow so we conclude that it is opaque but we can c through the water also so it is transparent also .We shadow of water coz when water runs it made up of bubbles and a bubble has a curved surface so when light strikes the curved surface refraction takes place so there is a formation of shadow

∙ 13y agoThe transparency of water is measured with a Secchi disk, a circular disk used to measure water transparency in oceans and lakes. The black and white disc is divided into alternating quadrants, mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the pattern on the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to the turbidity of the water.
Even absolutely clean water will have a Secchi depth as the molecules of water back scatter the light. If this were not the case you could see to the bottom of the oceans.

when a wave is been reflected, the direction of the wave changes. The speed of a reflected wave depend on the material that caused the reflection, either it's an opaque, transluscent or transparent material. The speed of reflection is greater in the following ascending order. Transparent, transluscent and Opaque.

What gives quartz it's color?
Quartz itself is transparent or transluscent. But trapped impurities such as iron, copper, etc give quartz a full rainbow of colors to choose from.
How do you know a chick egg is fertilzed?
I have had good luck holding the egg up to bright flashlight - if it is not fertile, the light will make the egg look transluscent. If it is fertile, the light will be blocked. Once you see it for yourself, you'll see that it's easy to do.
What are example of transluscent?
There are a lot of examples .. 1. plastic bags 2. tracing paper 3. frosted glass 4. and so on Transluency occurs when some light pass through and some doesn't.. this creates a blurred vision in our eyes.. anything that is blur when u see through it is translucent
How to make fake milk?
Elmers glue and water. Get the water boiling in a medium size pot. Remove from heat. Add 1 medium bottle of glue to the water and stir till totally disolved. Allow to cool. If too transluscent, gently warm the water and add more glue slowly till it satisfies your preference. This is how they film milk for TV and print, as natural milk appears slightly blue-ish on film. If making a baby bottle -- seal the ring cap with elmers glue after pouring the fake milk in, don't forget to seal the cap also. I use E 6000 glue. If you wish to see the milk travel to the nipple then buy a silicone blind nipple(no hole). Be sure to seal the cap.
