Here are five examples of transparent, translucent, and opaque objects:

Transparent Objects (allow light to pass through with minimal scattering):

• Glass window: Glass is a common example of a transparent material that allows light to pass through clearly.
• Clear plastic bottle: Transparent plastic materials, like those used in water bottles, are also transparent.
• Eyeglass lenses: Many eyeglass lenses are made of transparent materials that enable clear vision.
• Acrylic sheet: Transparent acrylic sheets are often used for displays and signs.
• Microscope slides: Glass microscope slides are transparent and used for specimen observation.

Translucent Objects (allow some light to pass through but scatter it):

• Frosted glass: Glass that has been sandblasted or treated to appear frosted is translucent, allowing diffused light to pass through.
• Wax paper: Wax paper is translucent, making it suitable for diffusing light while still allowing some visibility.
• Shower curtain: A typical shower curtain is often made of translucent plastic material.
• Clouds: Clouds in the sky are translucent as they scatter sunlight but don’t block it entirely.
• Tinted car windows: Some car windows are tinted to be translucent, reducing glare and heat while allowing some light to pass through.

Opaque Objects (do not allow light to pass through):

• Brick wall: Solid brick does not allow light to pass through and is considered opaque.
• Wooden door: Most wooden doors are opaque because they block light.
• Metal sheet: Opaque metal sheets, like those used in roofing, do not transmit light.
• Book cover: The cover of a book is typically opaque, preventing light from passing through.
• Solid rock: Rocks, like granite, are examples of naturally occurring opaque materials.
