And translucent as: Transmitting and diffusing light so that objects beyond cannot be seen clearly. Now if you see any object through a lens or a bottle filled with water then most of the times whatever you …

Mar 3, 2017 · A colleague said that translucence indicates that there is scattering of light, and at the limit of zero scattering the plaque is considered transparent. It can still absorb some wavelengths of light, …

Oct 15, 2018 · What is the difference between a transparent material and an opaque one at the atomic level? I know that something is transparent to light because the energy of the photons that …

Transparent materials let photons through because the energy gap of electron is so large that the photons cannot be absorbed. If the material absorbs a photon, the photon disappears; does this …

Aug 24, 2011 · A truly transparent object doesn't reflect any color in the sense that you seem to mean. How we normally "see" transparent objects is by the refraction of light that they cause and the effect …

When I smear oil onto a scrap of paper and rub it in, the paper becomes quite translucent; but when I attempt the same with water it doesn't as much. Why?

Feb 28, 2020 · It is very important to understand that certain materials are translucent, will let light through, or even transparent, having a single index of refraction throughout the material, but they will …

Water appears transparent to visible light, yet most other objects are opaque. Why is that? Is there an explanation why water appears transparent? Is water transparent at all wavelengths, or are...

118 Once I asked this question from my teacher and he replied "Because it passes light.". "And why does it pass light?" I asked and he said, "Because it is transparent.". The same question again, Why …

May 7, 2022 · Would the extra photons be able to pass through the material and make it appear transparent or maybe translucent? As described above, both processes of conversion into thermal …
