Final answer:

Transparency is the optical property that opaque, translucent, and transparent are all terms used to describe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Opaque, translucent, and transparent are all terms used to describe the optical property of transparency. Transparency refers to the ability of a material to allow light to pass through it. An opaque material does not allow any light to pass through, a translucent material allows some light to pass through but scatters it, and a transparent material allows light to pass through without scattering.

Opaque: a body is opaque if it does not pass the light (of cardboard).

Transparent: a body is said transparent if it lets in light and if one can see through (glass).

Translucent: a body is translucent said if he lets the light and if we can not see clearly through (tracing paper).
