A material through which light (or a certain color of light) won't pass through is said to be OPAQUE for light (or for that color of light). Most materials around us are opaque for visible light; only a few materials, such as air and other gases, water, and glass, are transparent, meaning they do let light through.

What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?

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.
