Translucent

Opaque

Transparent

  This blog about is about transparency and opacity (and translucency). Basically, these properties how much light can get through.Something opaque will not let light through, something transparent will let all light through, and something translucent will let some light through. We tested some objects by holding it up to the light and trying to see an outline/shadow or our knuckle ridges. Basically, if we saw nothing, it was opaque, a shadow was translucent, and if we can see the ridges of our knuckles its transparent.
