What are translucent objects? Give two examples.

Translucent objects let some light pass but scatter it, so you cannot see clearly through them. A translucent material allows partial transmission of light. Because of internal scattering, images appear blurred. 

This category is between transparent (clear view) and opaque (no light passes). Understanding transparent vs translucent vs opaque is common in physics and everyday life.

Examples

• Frosted glass window
• Butter paper or tracing paper
