- In the field of optics, transparency (also called pellucidity or diaphaneity) is the physical property of allowing light to pass through the material without appreciable scattering of light.

Oct 21, 1999 · "A material appears transparent when it does not strongly absorb or diffract light. As far as the absorbance of a solid goes, you pretty much have to take what Nature gives you....
For example, water, cooking oil, rubbing alcohol, air, and natural gas are all clear. Absence of structural defects (voids, cracks, etc.) and molecular structure of most liquids are chiefly responsible for their excellent optical transmission.
Transparent objects permit almost all the light to pass through them. Materials such as water, and clear glass are transparent. On the other hand, when light strikes translucent materials, it changes direction multiple times and is scattered as it passes through.

Sep 23, 2022 · Ans. Objects that are transparent look clear, like eye glasses or water. Light passes through transparent objects, so you can see through them. Some objects are translucent meaning they only let some light through. For example, most paper is translucent.

Polarization is the attribute that a wave’s oscillations have a definite direction relative to the direction of propagation of the wave. (This is not the same type of polarization as that discussed for the separation of charges.) Waves having such a direction are said to be polarized.
