Some flawed diamonds could be called translucent: generally these diamonds are given an industrial use.
The curtains in the room were made of a translucent material that allowed soft light to filter through. The artist used translucent paint to create a watercolor effect on the canvas. The frosted glass on the bathroom window was translucent, providing privacy while still letting in natural light.
All three ; the front is a mix of transparent & translucent and the back (where the photo-receptor dyes are) is opaque.
A translucent object is something you can see through. Three examples of this is: windows, glasses and some drinking glasses
Opaque
Yes, translucent objects can cast a shadow. When light passes through a translucent object, it can still create a shadow behind the object depending on the intensity and direction of the light source.
Depending on the individual diamond, it is transparent to translucent.
Diamonds are transparent, meaning they allow light to pass through them with little to no scattering. This optical property is one of the main reasons why diamonds are valued for their brilliance and sparkle.
it is a translucent substance because it lets light rays pass through it but the light rays are scattered.Another AnswerRaw diamonds are natural mineral stones. Some are clear -- about 20% qualify as gemstones, others are translucent, some cloudy others quite dull. Eighty percent of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds, not clear enough for gemstone quality.
No, diamonds are transparent or translucent, allowing light to pass through them. This property is what gives diamonds their brilliant sparkle and shine.
Raw diamonds can be transparent, translucent or opaque, depending on their clarity. Gem-quality diamonds are transparent.
Gem-quality diamonds can be said to be transparent to translucent in rough crystals. Industrial diamonds are cloudy -- intensely flawed -- and may be opaque, but are not considered transparent.
One would describe a high-quality black diamond as translucent, not as transparent.
Gem-quality diamonds -- only about 20% of all diamonds mined -- are transparent, some flawlessly transparent. A gem-stone diamond's transparency can range from transparent or sub-transparent to translucent. Industrial diamonds -- 75% of all diamonds mined -- are not transparent at all, but are even cloudy to dull. you can see through it if it is a gem-quality diamond

translucent
Yes. Diamond is made of carbon, and many plastics also contain carbon. Polystryene, polycarbonate and many other plastics are also transparent, while mercury (a liquid) is not. It's to do with the atomic/ molecular structure, and whether the molecular structure allows light transmission.
No, it's translucent.
