The translucency or transparency of glass is important because it determines how light interacts with the material. Transparent glass allows for clear visibility and unobstructed light passage, making it ideal for windows and displays. Translucent glass, on the other hand, diffuses light while obscuring details, providing privacy while still allowing natural light to enter a space. This characteristic is crucial in applications such as bathroom windows or decorative elements where both light and privacy are desired.
