What will light not travel through?

A material through which light (or a certain color of light) won't pass through is said to be OPAQUE for light (or for that color of light). Most materials around us are opaque for visible light; only a few materials, such as air and other gases, water, and glass, are transparent, meaning they do let light through.

Transparent materials allow light to freely pass through them. Translucent materials also allow light to pass through them, but change the colour of the light.
