About this Simulation

This simulation demonstrates how different materials affect light transmission. Students adjust opacity levels and observe how glass (transparent), tracing paper (translucent), and books (opaque) alter the visibility of images like fish tanks and family photos. Experiment with blur effects and lens properties to understand optical behaviour.

Learning objectives: Classify materials as transparent, translucent, or opaque based on light transmission | Explain how material density affects image clarity and light passage | Predict and observe how different optical properties change visual perception of objects
