objects that allow light to pass through them so that a clear image is visible.
easily seen through; light can go through these objects with little distortion
A property of materials that allows almost all of the visible light to pass through. A clear glass window is an example of a transparent object
Transmission of light, without diffusion, that allows and image to be undistorted.
Capable of transmitting light so that objects or images can be seen as if there were no intervening material.
A descriptive term for a material or substance capable of transmitting a high degree of light. (e.g., glass)
Easily understood or seen through. Transparent materials allow light to pass through them without diffusing (scattering) the light.
Easy to hear into the music, detailed, clear, not muddy. Wide flat frequency response, sharp time response, very low distortion and noise.
Used to describe stones that are clear and transmit light so that objects can be seen through the stone. Many fine quality colored stones such as ruby, citrine, or topaz are transparent. However, due to the depth of color or inclusions, you may not be able to discern an exact representation of the object as you would if looking through a transparent window glass. Quartz is another example of a transparent stone, it may be as clear as a window pane and was sometimes used as such in early times.
Describing an object that is able to transmit light through it, and if placed in front of another object, that object can be seen as if there is nothing interfering.
so thin as to transmit light; "a hat with a diaphanous veil"; "filmy wings of a moth"; "gauzy clouds of dandelion down"; "gossamer cobwebs"; "sheer silk stockings"; "transparent chiffon"; "vaporous silks"
easily understood or seen through (because of a lack of subtlety); "a transparent explanation"; "a transparent lie"
When a material allows most of the light beams hitting to travel through. (eg: clear glass)
having the property of transmitting light without appreciable scattering so that bodies beyond are visible. When referring to FIMO® - it is similar to porcelain, having a soft depth but not clear.
Permitting light to penetrate and reflect off the white surface of the support or allowing another color to show through, as in a glaze.(The opposite of opaque)
Sometimes referred to by the trendy term “crystal,†it is simply a gem material that freely transmits light and allows complete visibility through it. There are degrees of transparency.
Clear enough to be seen through.
The opposite of Opaque. Admitting light to pass through a substance so that object may be seen clearly through it, such as window panes.
Refers to materials that allow light to pass through them without diffusing the light
It is term used to describe an object which has the ability to transmit light through it. If any other object is placed in front of it, that object can be seen, as if there is nothing interfering.
Having the quality of letting light through, or being seen through. Color process inks are considered transparent.
Transmitting rays of light so that objects can be clearly seen through the material.
Clear to see through allowing light rays to be transmitted to the objects on the other side.
as in "transparent symbol": a symbol which refers to an experienced reality. Contrast with "opaque".
Allowing light to pass through so that objects can be seen on the other side; the opposite of opaque.
able to allow all light to pass through, often appearing clear and glasslike.
a material that lets light pass through it so that objects can be seen clearly on the other side
clear glass (may be colored, but you can read through it). Also called cathedral.
Clear base colors which are free from cloudiness or distortion.
Having the property of allowing light to permeate without diffusion or scattering; clear.
Those substances, such as glass, that pass almost all of the light waves falling upon them.
Clear, permitting vision.
A substance that allows light to pass through it easily and objects placed on the back can be fully seen through the substance.
Clear or see-through. Close Window
Having the ability to transmit light without distortion so that clear images may be seen.
having the property of allowing light to pass through.
Easily seen through ( glass like)
Easily seen through; light rays are transmitted.
Clear enough to see through.
A coating which light can penetrate; one which we look through and see the surface underneath.
The ability to see through an item. The opposite of transparent is opaque. Setting lower levels of transparency causes higher levels of opacity and less visibility of the underlying items or image. See also opaque.
Allows light to pass through. Clear or colored.
A clear material that you can see through.
Allowing light to pass through so that objects may be clearly seen.
A condition where a material is clear enough not to block the passage of radiant energy, especially light.
The property of allowing light to pass through such that one can see through the object without obstruction of view.
Any paint or dye that you can see through. All dyes and some paints are transparent. Transparent dyes and paints are meant for light colored fabric.
Transparent materials allow light to pass through them without diffusing (scattering) the light. Some translucent stones include diamond, zircon, emerald, rock crystal, and ruby. Plastics like lucite can also be transparent. In the confetti lucite bangle above, the glitter within the lucite is visible.
Clear, glasslike. Can be colored or colorless.
A transparent material allows all light that strikes it to pass through it and emerge from the other side.
Descriptive of a material or substance capable of a high degree of light transmission eg, glass. Some polypropylene films and acrylic mouldings are outstanding in this respect.
Permitting passage of to electromagnetic radiation of specified frequencies, such as visible light or radio waves.
Adjective to describe a material that transmits light with minimal diffusion or scattering.
