We usually say translucent. An example would be frosted glass.
Absorbed or attenuated.
Yes, when light passes through a material such as air, water, or glass without being absorbed or reflected, it is said to be transmitted. This process occurs when the material is transparent to the specific wavelengths of light being transmitted.
When the energy in light waves transfers to matter, it is absorbed by the matter and can lead to various effects, such as generating heat, causing a chemical reaction, or initiating a photoelectric effect where electrons are ejected from the material. This process is fundamental to technologies like solar panels and photosynthesis in plants.
Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".
When sunlight strikes an object and is sent in all directions, the light is said to be reflected.
translucent
Absorbed or attenuated.
TRUE
Certain substances will split a ray of light into two slightly different paths by polarisation. If a crystal transmits light without splitting it in this way when the light is incident on the crystal in only one direction then the crystal is said to be uniaxial. If light is transmitted when it is incident in either of two directions then the crystal is said to be biaxial. Please see the links.
Transparent?

I just had a car inspected with a check engine light on--inspector said it did not matter in Texas.

Supposedly God said "Let there be light"
First of all, it is scientifically impossible for any type of matter to reach light speed. Secondly, if said matter is near light speed, then that matter will increase in density as it increases in speed. Also, time will slow down around the matter as it increases in speed.
