What is translucent object give examples.
Answers
Answer:
Translucent Objects
A substance is called translucent if it allows partial transmission. The light rays get scattered in the interior of such objects. Consequently, the light rays emerge out at random directions. If any object is seen through a translucent material, the image appears fuzzy or blurred. Translucency can occur due to the following properties,
Non-uniform Density: If a material has a non-uniform distribution of matter, its density is different at different parts. Such density distribution can result in irregular refraction and transmission. Density fluctuations may cause scattering centers. At the points of fluctuations, the light rays get scattered.
Crystallographic Defects: Defects (e.g. fluctuation in composition) in a crystal structure can give rise to a scattering of light.
Boundaries: Grain boundaries (in a polycrystalline structure) and cell boundaries (in an organism) can behave as scattering centers.
Some examples of translucent objects are frosted glass, butter paper, tissue, various plastics, and so on.
Answer:
Materials like air, water, and clear glass are called transparent. ... Glass, for example, is transparent to all visible light. Translucent objects allow some light to travel through them. Materials like frosted glass and some plastics are called translucent.
