Transparent because light passes through it.
Cellophane is a plastic made from paper. The same wood cellulose found in paper is the basis for cellophane. The thin film is "regenerated" from cellulose that has been dissolved in caustic soda, then treated with sulfuric acid. The same material (called viscose) that forms cellophane is the base for the "semi-synthetic" polyester fiber known as rayon.
Cellophane was invented by Swiss chemist Jacques E. Brandenberger in the early 20th century. He developed the material as a waterproof coating for fabrics before realizing its potential for packaging and creating cellophane paper.
To make paper translucent, you can use a process called waxing. Simply melt some wax and brush it onto the paper, allowing it to dry and creating a semi-translucent effect. Another option is to use oils or varnishes to create a similar effect.
Cellophane paper is semi-permeable, meaning that it allows some gases and moisture to pass through. It is not completely impermeable like some other plastic films.
A glass of water, a window, a clear light bulb, tissue paper (really thin), a water bottle, anything with holes in it (obviously), crystal, diamond, various gems, etc. I hope they weren't too obvious answers!
translucent
cellophane paper, tracing paper and wax paper.
No, it's translucent.
Transparent, or see-through paper, is called cellophane.
Yes, light can pass through cellophane paper. Cellophane paper is a translucent material, which means it allows some light to pass through but scatters the light as it does so.
translucent
It is a thin ,transparent sheet used to cover copies and books .
Greased paper is typically translucent, allowing some light to pass through but not clearly transparent due to the grease coating on the paper.
A thin sheet of paper is considered translucent, which means it allows some light to pass through but scatters it in the process. This is why you can see shapes and shadows through a piece of paper, but not clearly.
no, they are most definitely translucent materials. in order, its transparent, translucent, then opaque. transparent being the most clear, opaque having no light filtered through.
No, greased paper is not transparent. It is typically translucent or opaque due to the presence of grease or oil that coats the surface of the paper.
Cellophane paper is made from natural cellulose fibers, which have the ability to absorb and reflect light. When light hits the cellophane paper, the cellulose fibers scatter the light in different directions, giving the appearance of absorption. This effect can make the cellophane paper appear translucent or colored depending on the thickness and composition of the fibers.
