Such materials through which you can see are called transparent materials.

When light encounters an opaque material adjacent to a transparent material, most of the light is reflected and absorbed by the opaque material, while a small amount may be transmitted through the transparent material. The opaque material blocks the passage of light, creating a shadow on the transparent material.
A transparent substance allows light to pass through it freely, resulting in visibility through the material. In contrast, an opaque substance blocks light from passing through, making it impossible to see through the material.
The difference between wood and plastic is that the wood is opaque and the plastic is transparent.
An opaque object does not allow light to pass through, making it impossible to see through it. In contrast, a transparent object allows light to pass through, enabling objects to be seen clearly on the other side.
Aluminum foil is opaque.
opaque material: some light will get reflected and some will get absorbed transparent material: light will go though it
Porcelain is not transparent. It is a ceramic material that is typically opaque and can be glazed for a glossy finish.
Stains are transparent colorants that penetrate the material they are applied to, enhancing the natural grain and texture. Pigments are opaque colorants that sit on top of the material, providing more coverage and a solid color finish.
Silk: opaque Plexiglas (coloured): transparent or translucent depending on the thickness and color of the material
transparent to opaque between the crystals to the rock
