It can transfer through transparent or translucent matter.
Radiation is a form of heat transfer that does not require matter as a medium. Energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as from the sun to the Earth.
Light can not change direction by passing from one kind of mater to another. In fact, light can only pass through its own type of matter, which is when things like light can go through each other (and only a few types of matter can do that), but even in that case since it can go through, it can't be bent in angle by passing through.
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
A light wave transfers energy without requiring a medium for its propagation. Electromagnetic waves, including light, can travel through space because they consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that do not need a material medium to transfer energy.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space. This is because electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate, unlike mechanical waves such as sound waves which rely on a medium such as air or water.
Radiation is a form of heat transfer that does not require matter as a medium. Energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as from the sun to the Earth.
Light can pass through matter that is transparent, but still be scattered if the matter is not completely uniform or smooth. Examples include frosted glass, wax paper, and frosted plastics.

Mainly conduction.
direct contact
The three types of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact of particles. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
