Transmission refers to the passing of light through some materials. Different

materials have different ways of transmitting light.
1. Translucent materials allow all lights to pass through them.
Example: Stained glasses and frosted windows
2. Transparent materials transmit light when they allow all the visible light
Waves to pass through them. We can see objects when lights through a transparent
materials, falls of the objects, and then reflects to our eyes.
Example: Clear plastic, glass windows
1. Opaque-materials do not allow light to pass through them.
Example: Concrete walls, wooden doors.
