Answer 2

Answer:

Paper is usually opaque due to the presence of crystalline mineral fillers inside that prevent light to pass through it by refracted the light back.

Explanation:

• Such a paper can be "made translucent" by adding a 'few drops of oil' on the paper.
• The oil will absorb light and will make the paper translucent by allowing 'partial light' to pass through it.
• The difference between the 'refractive indices' of the oil and the mineral crystals in the paper is less and thus the scattering of light is prevented which makes the paper to absorb 'partial light' and become translucent.
