What happens when light strikes a translucent object? Answer: Translucent materials will allow light to pass through them, but usually it also scatters the light a little so that you can't see through it clearly like a transparent piece of glass.
Light can pas through some materials but not others. When light hits an object that it cannot pass through it forms a shadow. If light passes through an object easily it is a transparent object. A translucent object lets some light through but an opaque object lets no light through.
