An opaque material.
Opaque.
Opaque materials do not let light pass through them; they block or absorb light instead. This is because the atoms and molecules in opaque materials are closely packed together, preventing light from passing through the material.
Opaque materials such as wood, metal, and thick plastics do not allow light to pass through them. These materials absorb or reflect light, preventing it from traveling through.

A material that will not allow the transmission of light is called an opaque material.
An impermeable material.
When light is transmitted through a material, the energy of the light is either absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the material. The material may absorb some of the light energy, convert it into heat, or allow the light to pass through without being absorbed.
When light is directed at a transparent material, such as glass or water, it passes through the material with little to no obstruction. The material may refract or bend the light, but it generally allows the light to transmit through it, making the material appear clear or see-through.
Even though you can see through a material..i.e. it is transparent...it may have color and a physicist will want to know this information. What type of light is hitting this material is important to include in your question as well as the type of transparent material. What type of light? (and the strength ...source would be great) What type of material? What color is the material? Answer: It allows light to pass through a material
When light cannot travel through a material, it has been absorbed or blocked by the material. This typically occurs when the material is opaque and not transparent or translucent.
Light can travel through a translucent material because the material scatters light rather than absorbing it. Light enters the material and is scattered in different directions, allowing part of it to pass through. This diffusion of light throughout the material creates a semi-transparent effect.
