In practical terms, yes. Look at your shadow on the lawn. Can you still see the blades of grass? Of course you can. If light (photons) could not travel "through the shadow", you would not be able to see the blades of grass.
It depends on the shadow; a shadow could block all light if the object casting the shadow is large enough, but I'm unable to think of a single example. Some light can be seen even during a total solar eclipse (from the corona), and even on a moonless night there is some ambient light. And Einstein proved that light bends! Your question is not as simple as it seems; the only "total shadow" I know of is a black hole, and black holes allow no light to escape.
I did think of one example. A laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) casts a coherent beam; i.e., the light does not diffuse (spread) beyond the circumference of the beam. So if one places an object larger than the beam in front of the laser beam, within a darkened room, the shadow cast by that object absolutely will block any transmission of light.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name given to objects that does not have shadow in the presence of light?
The name given to objects that do not cast a shadow in the presence of light is called translucent. Translucent objects allow light to pass through them, making them appear to have no shadow.
Nearly all the light that strikes an opaque object will pass through and cast a shadow?
No, opaque objects do not let light pass through them; rather, they absorb or reflect light. When opaque objects are struck by light, they block the light, causing a shadow to be cast behind them. Transparent objects, on the other hand, allow light to pass through them.
What is formed when an object which does not allow light to pass through is in the path of light?
Depends on the surface of the object that the light is projected on. If the object has a polished surface like an inoxidable steel, or the object is a mirror, the light will produce a reflexion or the light comes back when it hits the mirror. Behind any object, is formed a shadow, since such object is not a glass.
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 material does not allow light to pass through it?
Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them.
Objects that do not allow light to pass through cause what?
SHADOW

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 happens to light when it travells through air and meets a transparant surface?
transparent surfaces, allow light to pass through, translucent surfaces allow SOME light to pass through and opaque surfaces DO NOT allow any light to pass through
Why do you cast a shadow?
Because no light can pass through something opaque
What material does not allow light to pass through it?
Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them.
Can solid objects allow light to pass through it?
No, solid objects do not allow light to pass through them because the particles are tightly packed and do not allow for the transmission of light. Materials such as glass and plastic are transparent solids that allow light to pass through due to their molecular structure and arrangement.
Does not allow light to pass through?
is opaque
What term defines some light passing through?
Translucent materials allow some light to pass through. Transparent materials allow most or all light to pass through.
