The Light Can Passes Through?



Examples of transparent objects:
The varied applications of the transparency in glass is most obvious in windows. Glass for functional objects such as cars, flashlights and microscopes also takes great advantage of the transparency of glass both for safety and aesthetically purposes. Marketers exploit the transparency of glass with bottles of products, such as juices and perfumes. Household objects such as cellophane and other plastics use transparency for functional purposes to help individuals identify what is inside a bag or wrapped up. Naturally occurring transparent gems such as diamonds have been used not only to create impressive beauty but also for practical, innovative applications in computer technology, thermo imaging and other fields. The transparency of amber, fossilized tree resin, makes it into a valued gem, but just as importantly it has allowed paleontologists to make revolutionary fossil discoveries.

Transparent objects should not be confused with translucent objects, which transmit but diffuse the light that passes through them.

Examples of translucent material:
Translucent materials obscure objects because they allow some light to pass through, but the light that is allowed to pass through hits particles found within the material and scatters it in all directions. Translucent materials should not be confused with opaque materials. The latter does not allow light to pass through at all. Instead, the object or material absorbs the light as heat.

Examples of opaque objects:
When light strikes an opaque object it is either absorbed by the object or it is bounced off or reflected by the object. For example, white objects reflect light, which is why they are cooler to the touch. Dark objects absorb light and transform it into heat. Other objects absorb some wavelengths of light while deflecting others.

So, the light can passes Through? Can not if we use opaque.
