In other words, a translucent material is made up of components with different indices of refraction. A transparent material is made up of components with a uniform index of refraction. [1] Transparent materials appear clear, with the overall appearance of one color, or any combination leading up to a brilliant spectrum of every color.

Pure cellulose fiber is translucent, and it is the air trapped between fibers that makes paper opaque and look white. [3] If the fibers are refined and beaten until all the air is taken out, then the resulting sheet will be translucent. Translucent papers are dense and contain up to 10% moisture at 50% humidity.

A highlighter, also called a fluorescent pen, is a type of writing device used to bring attention to sections of text by marking them with a vivid, translucent colour. [1] A typical highlighter is fluorescent yellow, with the color coming from pyranine. [2] Different compounds, such as rhodamines (Rhodamine 6GD, Rhodamine B) are used for other ...
Transliteration is the process of representing or intending to represent a word, phrase, or text in a different script or writing system. Transliterations are designed to convey the pronunciation of the original word in a different script, allowing readers or speakers of that script to approximate the sounds and pronunciation of the original word.
This is known as transparency, and is seen in many naturally occurring materials (although no naturally occurring material is 100% transparent). Invisibility perception depends on several optical and visual factors. [1] For example, invisibility depends on the eyes of the observer and/or the instruments used.
