Concept 3 of 9Foundation
Watch on YouTubeVideoTransparent, translucent, opaque
- Transparent — all light passes through. You see through clearly. (clear glass, water, air)
- Translucent — only some light passes; image is blurry. (frosted glass, butter paper, tracing paper)
- Opaque — no light passes. Casts a sharp shadow. (wood, metal, you, book)
Example
Hold your hand to a bright light: you can't see through (opaque). Hold butter paper: you see a blurry light (translucent). Hold clear glass: you see through clearly (transparent).
💡 Tip:Only opaque objects cast sharp shadows. Transparent objects don't form shadows (or barely).
