What is it called when light that can travel through something?

Answer 1

Objects that allow most light to pass through are described as transparent. In contrast, translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but don't let you see objects. Opaque objects allow no light to pass through.

Answer 2

If light passes through an object the object is transparent

If only certain light passes through than the light is diffused, we call this translucent.

If no light goes through than the object is opaque.

Answer 3

The phenomenon of change in the direction of the path of light when it goes from one medium to another medium is called refraction of light. Since here light goes from air to glass interchanging media so the phenomenon here too will be called as refraction.

Answer 4

There are two different words that might apply here. A material is "transparent" if you can see through it. A material is "translucent" if light passes through it, but you can't see an image clearly through it.

Answer 5

Translucent allows light to pass through (like a stained glass)

Transparent also allows light through, only unobstructed (you can see through it, like glass)
