Question

A material transmits some of the light that reaches it, and objects behind the material appear blurred. What type of material is it?

transparent

pigmented

translucent

opaque

If you give an answer, could please explain why?

Answer 1

Translucent

Step-by-step explanation:

Transparent materials selectively absorb one or more frequencies of light and transmit what is not absorbed. Plastic wrap is an example of a transparent material.

Translucent materials absorb some frequencies of light and transmit the rest. However, translucent materials have particles that scatter light and cause objects behind the material to appear blurred. Wax paper is an example of a translucent material.

Answer 2

translucent

Step-by-step explanation:

Transparent means ALL light and ALL shapes are visible through, like a window.

Pigmented means that shapes are visible clearly, but not colors, like sunglasses.

Translucent means that shapes are somewhat visible (v. blurry,) and lights are somewhat also.

opaque is nothing in, nothing out. Solid.
