allows light to pass through
No, a fishbowl is typically transparent or translucent, allowing light to pass through. Opaque objects block light and do not allow it to pass through.
Translucent means allowing light to pass through, but diffusing it so that objects on the other side are not clearly visible. It is a property between transparent (fully allowing light through) and opaque (not allowing light through).
No, a light bulb is not translucent. It is made of glass which is transparent, allowing light to pass through it. Translucent materials allow some light to pass through, but they diffuse the light.
Light rays do not pass through opaque objects such as walls, thick metals, or dense stones. These materials absorb or reflect light rather than allowing it to pass through.
Light hardly passes through opaque materials such as wood, metal, and thick plastics. These materials absorb or reflect light instead of allowing it to pass through.
translucent
No, air is not opaque. It is transparent, allowing light to pass through it easily. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them.

The term used to indicate how much light can pass through an object is transparency. Transparency refers to the property of allowing light to pass through without being scattered.
Translucent materials allow some light to pass through but scatter it in different directions. Opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through. Transparent materials allow light to pass through with minimal scattering, allowing objects to be seen clearly through them.
Some glass is transparent to visible light.
A material that only allows some light to pass through is called translucent. Unlike transparent materials, which allow all light to pass through, translucent materials diffuse the light, allowing only some of it to pass.
