Light does not pass through an opaque object. An 'opaque' object is defined as one through which light does not pass. If light passes through an object, then that observation constitutes a reliable first clue that the object under test is not an opaque one.
If the object is opaque to the frequency of light impinging on it, some of the light will be reflected and the rest will be converted to heat in the opaque object.
An opaque object transmits very little light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs most of it.
A shadow is formed when light is blocked by an opaque object.

There are many objects that no light can pass through, although of course, it depends on what type of light you're talking about. The name of the type of object that visible light cannot pass through is called opaque.

Yes. Opaque means you can not see any light through the object.
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.

No, that is what opaque means. Light does not go through an opaque object. An object that is translucent will allow light through, but is opaque enough to keep you from seeing clearly through it (think about frosted glass used for bathroom windows). Transparent is "see through".
Either the light reflect from the object or absorbed into the object.
We need an source of light, an opaque object blocking the path of light, a screen behind the opaque object.
