What Translucent, Opaque and Transparent mean according to Science!!!!!!!!

Opaque

Opaque objects, such as the metal can shown here, do not allow any light to pass through. The contents of the metal can are not visible at all. Science ›Light›Transparent and opaque objects >

Not letting light pass through; not transparent or translucent

not reflecting light; not shining or lustrous; dull or dark

not allowing electricity, heat, etc. to pass through

hard to understand; obscure

slow in understanding; obtuse.

Middle English opake ; from Classical Latin opacus, shady

anything opaque.

Translucent

Permitting light to pass through but diffusing it so that persons, objects, etc., on the opposite side are not clearly visible: Frosted window glass is translucent but not transparent.In contrast, a transparent material allows you to clearly see the objects on the other side. Frosted glass is translucent, and regular glass is transparent. But opaque glass doesn't let any light through at all, and so you can't see through it. The adjective translucent is from Latin translucens, from translucere"to shine through."

Transparent

Obviously the glass of a window is transparent, but transparency is also a way to describe something that is clearly understood and lacks any deception or secrecy. Reporters use it these days to describe the ideal way for government to develop policy, where voters can see the process and how decisions are achieved. Some in government, however, would argue that the leaking of top-secret information takes it a step too far.
