Which of the following statements is/are correct?

• A. Only 1
• B. Both 1 and 2
• C. Neither 1 nor 2
• D. Only 2

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only 1

The materials which allow all the light to pass through them are called transparent materials.
Materials like glass, polythene, air, water and groundnut oil are transparent materials because we can see clearly through them.
Those materials which allow only some light to pass through them are called translucent materials. Light passes only partially through translucent material.
Butter paper ,vegetable oil and tissue paper are translucent materials because it does not allow all the light through it and hence we cannot see clearly through them.
