Light cannot travel through an opaque material. The word "opaque" simply means that a substance isn't transparent or translucent. So most everyday materials, like wood, plastic, iron, and people are all opaque.
Materials that allow light to pass through them are called transparent materials.
There is no known material that light cannot travel through. However, materials such as lead and thick concrete can significantly attenuate or absorb light, making them almost opaque to visible light.
Light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, where sound cannot travel as it requires a medium like air, water, or a solid to propagate. Light can also travel through transparent materials like glass or air, while sound is mostly blocked or absorbed by these materials.
Air, water, and glass are three common materials that light can travel through. Each material has different properties that affect how light travels through it, such as its density and refractive index.
Light waves can travel through a vacuum, air, water, and transparent materials like glass and plastic.

There are many materials that light can not travel through which are called opaque objects.

Light waves can travel through a vacuum, air, water, and transparent materials like glass and plastic.
A material that light can travel through is called a transparent material. These materials allow light to pass through without scattering or being absorbed. Glass, air, and water are examples of transparent materials.
Light travels in a straight line through a vacuum or transparent materials.
Materials that allow light to pass through them are called transparent materials. These materials do not absorb or reflect light, enabling light to travel through them with minimal obstruction. Examples include glass, water, and clear plastics.
Light waves can travel through a vacuum (such as outer space), air, water, glass, and other transparent materials. Light waves can also travel through some opaque materials, but they may get absorbed or scattered in the process, reducing their intensity.
