Yes, transparent means you can clearly see through the object. Translucent means only light travels through, you cannot see a clear image, and opaque means no light or image is visible.

What are the difference between opaque transparent translucent?

Something that is opaque will prevent essentially all the light striking it from passing through it. Something that is transparent will permit essentially all the light that striks it to pass through it in a way that makes the objects on one side clearly visible from the other side. something that is translucent will let some of the light that strikes it pass through, but will also scatter the light to it is not possible to see object on the opposite side. Examples: Opaque - a solid brick wall Transparent - a pane of glass Translucent - the covering of a lighted sign that lets you see the light illuminating the letters and drawings, but does not let you seethe light bulbs that provide the light.


Does cellophane let light through clearly?

Yes, cellophane is transparent and allows light to pass through clearly. Initially developed as a packaging material in the early 20th century, cellophane's transparent nature made it ideal for wrapping food items while still allowing them to be visible.


How do transparent translucent and opaque objects affect light?

transparent and translucent objects are the objects that let the light pass through them eg glass, but sometimes translucent objects are colorful so they change the color of the light as it passes through them opaque objects can either absorb the light, like dark material, or reflect, like a mirror.


What does transparent opaque and translucent mean?

Transparent refers to materials that allow light to pass through easily, like glass. Opaque refers to materials that do not let light pass through, like metal. Translucent refers to materials that allow some light to pass through, but not as clearly as transparent materials, like frosted glass.


What word do you use for objects that do not let light pass through them?

Opaque is the term used to describe an object or substance that stops all light passing.

What is it called when light that can travel through something?

Objects that allow most light to pass through are described as transparent. In contrast, translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but don't let you see objects. Opaque objects allow no light to pass through.


Will an translucent object let light pass through?

Yes, a translucent object allows light to pass through, but diffuses it, so that objects on the other side cannot be seen clearly.
