A translucent object is an object that allows light to pass through but is not transparent--you cannot make out the shapes of the objects on the other side. Translucent is not quite transparent, so that you can see through it but only diffusely, that is, only just. Try looking through some tracing paper; it is a translucent object. This term, translucent, means that light can travel trough a fabric or substance but not as it would through a window. An example would be a plastic milk jug. when a substance is translucent one can see vaguely through it, it is the opposite of dense.
