Transparency (optics)
In
optics, transparency is the
material property of allowing
light to pass through. In
mineralogy, another term for this property is diaphaneity. The opposite property is
opacity. Transparent materials are clear: they can be seen through. Translucent materials allow light to pass through them only diffusely: they cannot be seen through.
