All forms of matter have little subatomic particles that act as solar powered flashlights called phototransmitrons. As like many other subatomic particles, phototransmitrons have different properties from each other. Some absorb the same light they transmit, some absorb a certain wavelength and transmit others, and some, called inert phototransmitrons, absorb do not transmit any light. As in ferromagnetism, phototransmitrons have domains that may point all directions (in the case of gases which is transparent from all sides with minimal distortion) or phototransmitrons that that are slightly more polar (which would cause minimal to extreme distortion, like in solids). Phototransmitrons work hand in hand with photons to create light as we see it today. Much is there to learn about phototransmitrons, as it is a relatively new discovery. When light passes through objects, the photons hit these phototransmitrons and travel through the object via these particles and leave the other side.

traveling of light depends the characteristics of the object. If it is opaque or if it is a black body, light doesn't travel. similarly if it is transparent it easily gets into it.during the period of travel it changes its velocity. traveling of light depends the characteristics of the object.

1. Light travels easily through a transparent object like: Air, Water, Plastic.

2. Light travels through an opaque object like: Wood, Pottery, Brick.

3. And some light can travel through a translucent object like: Paper, Milky plastic, Frosty glass, and Milky stained glass.

When light passes through an object, it is only reflected in limited amounts. Light will only pass through transparent objects.

In the medium the light travels in straight line ,its speed depend on index of refraction of the medium.
