Opaque and transparent materials differ between the amount of light that passes through it. Opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through. Transparent materials allow all or most light through.
Transparent means that you can see right through something, like normal window glass.
Translucent means that light can be seen through something, but you can't see detail, like when you can see through paper.
Opaque means that you can't see any light through something at all, like most things.
The transparency of tungsten is that its Opaque. its a metal, so it is not at all transparent.
The developments for both occur in water or liquid: chicken inside opaque eggs and frog in water. The genome size for both animals is similar (around 1500 million base pairs). The breeding cycle for each animal lasts four to six months.
porous surface and a deep red or brown color . some of those rosks are transparent and black with a glassy texture. Answer: Granite has a grainy texture composed of visible mineral crystals. Basalt is usually fine grained with a black or black-green color. Pumice can appear full of small bubbles and will float on water. Volcanic cinders are usually dark red to dark black and appear porous. Obsidian will be black to dark brown and opaque to semi-transparent with conchoidal fracturing.
Color-- this varies depending on the chemicals present and is the least informative in identifying a mineral varietyLuster-- what the surface looks like in the lightSpecific Gravity-- how heavy it feels, heftCrystal Form-- shape of crystal, shape the mineral would take if it had room to grow in a cavity, not massive -- some minerals have a number of different crystal shapesCleavage-- pattern when mineral is broken -- in planes or conchoidalFractureTenacity - toughness, how cohesive the mineral is, if it falls apartHardness-- what it can scratch & what scratches itTransparency- The ability to transmit light. Depending on a number of things, rocks & minerals can also transmit light. Many rocks that are opaque when in a chunk, are translucent when cut into very thin slices. Gems stones are often valued on how clear, or transparent they are.
. The commercially important micas are muscovite and phlogopite, which are used in a variety of applications. Mica's value is based on several of its unique physical properties. The crystalline structure of mica forms layers that can be split or delaminated into thin sheets usually causing foliation in rocks. These sheets are chemically inert, dielectric, elastic, flexible, hydrophilic, insulating, lightweight, platy, reflective, refractive, resilient, and range in opacity from transparent to opaque
Aluminum foil is opaque.
Its transparent to red light, translucent to other colors.

Raw diamonds can be transparent, translucent or opaque, depending on their clarity. Gem-quality diamonds are transparent.
