There are some objects through which light can travel, others it cannot.
Light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum and each part has a certain energy level. The energy required to travel through an object varies with the make up of that substance.
The property an object has for allowing the passage of electromagnetic radiation to pass is called its transparency.
An object may not allow light to pass but allow x-rays to pass because x-rays have more energy than light. There fore human flesh, for instance, is opaque to light but transparent to x-rays.
There are other things involved but this is a simplified explanation.

What kind of light can not pass through materials?
If you're asking for what light cannot touch, then there is nothing. Other than air, light acts on everything. If light did not reflect off of objects, they would be invisible. EDIT: Visible light cannot penetrate a mirror. If the mirror is of suitable quality, most of the light should be reflected, with the remainder being absorbed. EDIT: light acts on air, it does not act on a vacuum, it travels straight thru it. with air however, light is difracted
