What is "semi permeable membrane"?

Semi-permeable membrane is chemically

A solution is separated from pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane at 298 K. The difference in the height of the solution and the solvent is 0.9 m. If K_(f) and freezing point of the solvent are 30 K kg mol^(-1) and 250.3 K, respectively, the temperature which the solution freezes is : (Assume density of solution be 1 g/cc)
