Transparent medium:
The medium which allows light to pass through them is known as transparent medium.
Transparent materials include air, water, and clear glass. Almost all of the light that strikes transparent materials passes directly through them.
Translucent medium:
The medium which allows some light to pass through them is known as translucent medium. In this medium, we can’t see through them clearly, and objects on the other side appear fuzzy and unclear.
Translucent materials include frosted glass and some plastics.
Opaque medium:
The medium which prevents light passing through them is known as Opaque medium. The majority of light is reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to thermal energy.
Materials that are opaque to visible light are wood, stone, and metals.
