Both transparent and translucent materials allow light to pass through them. Spectacles, glass, sand timer, prism, fish tank, camera lens etc are examples of transparent substances. A transparent medium allows light to pass completely, while translucent objects allow light to pass through them partially. wax paper, coloured plastic bottle, tracing paper, frosted glass, jelly, paper cup are translucent objects. Opaque substances don't allow passage of light. Cardboard, wooden cupboard, metal, cell phone are examples of opaque substances.
