Question

i am a component of food that makes paper translucent who i am? a)carbohydrate. b)protein. c)fat. d)minaral​

Answer 1

fat is the correct option

Answer 2

Fats make paper translucent.

Detailed Discussion:

• Fats, oil and grease has very similar refractive index as that of paper.

• So, whenever fat or grease (from foods) fall on paper, the amount of light undergoing refraction and scattering while passing through the interface is very less.

• Hence, paper after being soaked with oil appears translucent.

• You may have noticed that whenever pizza comes in that box, the paper inside the box below the pizza soaks the oil and becomes translucent.
