Answer:
Materials can be classified according to the amount and type of light they transmit. Transparent (trans-PAIR-uhnt) materials allow most of the light that strikes them to pass through. ... Opaque (oh-PAYK) materials do not allow any light to pass through them, because they reflect light, absorb light, or both.

Transparent, Opaque, and Translucent materials can be classed based on the quantity of light they transmit.
- Transparent substances allow light rays to flow through.
- Transparent substances have a refractive index that is almost equal.
- Snell's law of refraction governs light rays.
- The quantity of dispersion when going through a transparent object is quite low. As a result, on the other side of the substance, a clear image is visible. Examples: Lenses, spherical mirrors, spectacles etc.
- If a substance allows for partial transmission of light rays, it is considered transparent. In the interior of such objects, light rays are scattered. As a result, light beams emerge in random directions. The image of any item seen through a translucent material seems blurred. Examples: butter paper, tissue, plastic cups etc.
- Light does not travel through opaque materials. Any light that strikes the surface is totally scattered, reflected, or absorbed. Examples: Wood, Concrete, Metals etc.
