Yes, transparent objects allow light to pass through without significant distortion, making objects behind them clearly visible.
a mirror is translucent even though it looks transparent.
Translucent means that light can pass through the object, but the details are not as clearly visible compared to something transparent. It allows some light to penetrate, creating a diffused or blurred effect. Examples include frosted glass or wax paper.
When light encounters an opaque material, such as wood or metal, it is absorbed or reflected by the surface and cannot pass through. In contrast, when light encounters a transparent material, such as glass or water, it is able to pass through the material due to its molecular structure, allowing objects to be seen clearly on the other side.
Despite being able to see through them, sunglasses can still be described as translucent because they allow some light to pass through, but they also block or reduce glare and brightness. This characteristic makes them different from transparent materials like glass, which allow light to pass through without distortion or filtering.
Even though you can see through a material..i.e. it is transparent...it may have color and a physicist will want to know this information. What type of light is hitting this material is important to include in your question as well as the type of transparent material. What type of light? (and the strength ...source would be great) What type of material? What color is the material? Answer: It allows light to pass through a material
When all light passing through an object is able to transmit with no absorption or scattering, the object is said to be transparent. This means that light can pass through the object with minimal distortion, making it clearly visible on the other side. Examples of transparent materials include glass and clear plastics.

no you cant see through itEdit (Wolf5370): Erm, the definition of opaque is that you can't see through it! So, yes a CD is mostly opaque (though the edges where ther film does nor reach is usually transparent - see through).
Solid objects can be transparent (you can see easily through them like a cup), translucent (you can kind of see through it like a tinted window), or opaque (you can't see through it like a chair or a book). You can't see through opaque objects.

A transparent stone is a gemstone or mineral that allows light to pass through it easily, giving it a clear and see-through appearance. Examples of transparent stones include diamonds, sapphires, and quartz. These stones are highly valued in jewelry for their brilliance and clarity.
If light travels through an object, it is still called light. If you want to specify, you might say "light travelling through an object".
For the most part, no. Some of each slice may have a thin enough section to be (partially) transparent, though.
There are three levels of being able to see things through a solid liquid or gas. Opaque means you can't se through i at all. transparent means that you can see through it clearly and translucent means that light passes through but not clear images (like a foggy day) . A translucent color is a colour one which allows light to pass though, or even the underlying cloud, but no distinct image of the surface the colour is on.
