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

What kind of light can objects completely pass through?

Objects can completely pass through transparent materials, such as glass, clear plastic, or water. These materials allow light to pass through with minimal scattering or absorption.


Materials that some light can pass through are called?

Materials that some light can pass through are called translucent materials. These materials allow some light to pass through them, but not as clearly as transparent materials like glass.


Do visible and infrared light pass through the same types of materials?

No, visible light and infrared light do not pass through the same types of materials. Visible light can pass through materials like glass and water, while infrared light can pass through materials like plastic and some fabrics.


What type of material always lets light pass through it?

Transparent materials will always allow light to pass through, translucent materials will allow light to pass through as well but the light rays will be scattered. Opaque materials will not allow any light to pass through.


What word is used for materials that light can pass 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.


What kind of matter can light transfer through?

Light can transfer through transparent materials such as air, glass, and water. These materials allow light to pass through with little or no obstruction. On the other hand, opaque materials like wood, metal, and concrete do not allow light to pass through and absorb or reflect it instead.


What material does not allow light to pass through it?

Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them.


What is transparent translucent and opaque called?

These terms refer to the ability of a material to allow light to pass through it. Transparent materials allow light to pass through clearly, translucent materials allow some light to pass through but not clearly, and opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through.


What is the sequence of increasing light-transmitting capabilities of materials?

The sequence of increasing light-transmitting capabilities of materials is opaque, translucent, and transparent. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through, translucent materials allow some light to pass through but not clearly, and transparent materials allow light to pass through clearly.


What is the kind of material through which light passes easily?

Materials like glass, air, and water are transparent and allow light to pass through easily. These materials have a low absorption coefficient and a high transmission coefficient for light.


What are the three classification of materials according to how light travels through them?

Materials are classified into three catagories firstly opaque through which light can not pass,secondly transparent through which light can pass and lastly translucent through light light passes partially.


What are the three kinds of materials in transmission of light?

The three types of materials in the transmission of light are transparent, translucent, and opaque. Transparent materials allow light to pass through with minimal scattering, translucent materials allow light to pass through but with some scattering or diffusion, and opaque materials do not allow light to pass through at all.
