this is a really unspecific question, Its like me saying "people are tall?". The answer is not as clear cut as "Yes" or "No", and it all depends on what you mean. Do you mean that light passes through some objects, in which case the answer is yes, visible light will pass through some objects (like a glass) depending on the physical characteristics of the material (mainly transparency and clarity (and yes, these are different qualities)). If you mean will radiation (which, as visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, it is technically a type of radiation) pass through all objects, then your answer is yes (mostly). Certain materials will block certain wave lengths of radiation but not others (like lead crystal blocks Nuclear radiation but not visible light radiation). this is, in principle, how UV protected lenses work, they block UV radiation but lets most of the 'light' radiation through, allowing you to see through them. I hope this answers your woefully worded question, and that you can now live in peace, knowing that just because you cant see the night sky, doesn't mean that your DNA isn't being torn apart by high-energy cosmic radiation from the night sky as you sleep, blissfuly unaware.

That really depends upon the object; different substances have different opacity or transparency for different frequencies of light.
