1.	A thin layer of water is transparent but a very thick layer of water is called
Answer» Water in a thick layer has multiply strata. Each strata consists of multiple layers of water molecules which have hydrogen bond between them.Now as water is passing through each layer of water, there is refraction. Hence due to multiple layers of water, there seems to be decreases in the parallel rays. Hence the transparency of the light decrease. Also there are many dissolved salts in water. They reflect the rays of light. Hence deep water seems to be translucent.A thin layer of water is transparent but a thick layer of water is translucent as lateral shift depends on thickness of the object.
