Transparency and translucency
Wikipedia: In the field of optics, transparency is the physical property of allowing light to pass through the material
without being scattered. On a macroscopic scale, the photons can be said to follow Snell's Law. Translucency is a super-set of transparency: it allows light to pass through, but does not
necessarily follow Snell's law; the photons can be scattered at either of the two interfaces where there is a change in index of refraction, or internally. In other words, a translucent medium
allows the transport of light while a transparent medium not only allows the transport of light but allows for image formation. The opposite property of translucency is opacity. Transparent
materials appear clear, with the overall appearance of one color, or any combination leading up to a brilliant spectrum of every color. →
