Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

Correct option - (C) Both A and B

Translucent objects allow some light to travel through them. Materials like frosted glass and some plastics are called translucent.

To make a transparent glass sheet translucent we can scratch it or paint it. After scratching or painting light will not be able to pass completely through the glass sheet because some part of the light will be reflected and some part of the light also get absorbed. Since very few amount of light will pass through the glass it will act as translucent.
