How are transparent and translucent alike?
Both transparent and translucent materials allow light to pass through them, but in different ways. Transparent materials allow light to pass through without distortion, while translucent materials allow some light to pass through but scatter it in different directions, making the material appear blurry.
What is the definition of 'translucent'?
Translucent means allowing light to pass through, but diffusing it so that objects on the other side are not clearly visible. It is a property between transparent (fully allowing light through) and opaque (not allowing light through).
Whether or not an object is Translucent transparent or opaque is determined by its ability to what?
An object's ability to transmit light is what determines whether it is translucent, transparent, or opaque. Translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but they scatter it in different directions. Transparent objects allow light to pass through with minimal scattering. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through at all.
Is plastic opaque or transparent or translucent?

Is iron transparent or translucent?
Iron is neither transparent nor translucent. It is considered opaque, meaning it does not allow light to pass through it easily.
