Solution

Translucent material:

  1. Translucent materials are those which partially allow the light to pass through them.
  2. When a translucent material is placed in the path of the light, light is not completely obstructed by it and a faint shadow is formed.
  3. Hence, translucent materials form faint shadows.

Therefore, from the above category butter paper and frosted glass are the two translucent materials that partially allow light to pass through them and form shadow.
