Opaque objects don't allow light to pass through them while translucent objects slow the passage of light but ultimately allow it to pass through.
Why can you see through a solid glass window but not through an opaque object like a wall?
Electromagnetic radiation passes through materials it does not interact strongly with and which do not present many interfaces where there is a transition between materials of different density.

What light waves can go through an object?
Depends on the "object" and the frequency of the "light." All light waves can go through SOME objects, and some are stopped by an object that others can go right through. Radio waves can easily go through walls, optical light waves can go through glass, UV light can be easily stopped by many objects but can go through some others, and x-rays and gamma rays go through a wide variety of objects.

Why opaque objects do not cause a shadow?
Opaque objects do not let light to past through so it will not cause a shadow. Because light cannot get through an opaque object, it will cast a shadow on the side opposite of the light.
