There are some objects through which light can travel, others it cannot.
Light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum and each part has a certain energy level. The energy required to travel through an object varies with the make up of that substance.
The property an object has for allowing the passage of electromagnetic radiation to pass is called its transparency.
An object may not allow light to pass but allow x-rays to pass because x-rays have more energy than light. There fore human flesh, for instance, is opaque to light but transparent to x-rays.
There are other things involved but this is a simplified explanation.
What else can I help you with?
What is a material that light can't travel through?
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.
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.
Why cant opaque objects allow light to pass through?
Opaque objects have a dense molecular structure that does not allow light to pass through. The particles in the object absorb and reflect light, preventing it from transmitting through the material. This is in contrast to transparent or translucent objects, which have a molecular structure that allows light to pass through easily.
What do you call it when light cant go through it?
An object that does not allow light to pass through it is called opaque. Opaque objects absorb or reflect light, preventing it from transmitting through them.
Why cant light pass through dark objects?
Dark objects absorb light because they reflect little to no light and instead convert it into other forms of energy, such as heat. This absorption prevents the light from passing through the object and makes it appear dark to our eyes.
How does how does light travel through opaque material?
it cant travel through light.

Can light and sound travel through space?
light can but sound cant as there is no air

Why cant objects be clearly seen through translucent objects?
Translucent objects allow some light to pass through them, but they scatter the light in different directions, making it difficult for the eye to distinguish the details of objects behind them. This scattering effect causes the objects to appear blurred or fuzzy when viewed through translucent materials.
Is opaque the same as transparent?
You cant see through opaque things, but you can see through transparent things.
Why cant you see your reflection in all objects that replect light?
You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.
Why cant you pull objects with sound?
Sound waves do not contain physical force or energy to exert a pulling effect on objects. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, like air, but they do not possess the necessary properties to physically move objects through pulling.
What kind of light can not pass through materials?
If you're asking for what light cannot touch, then there is nothing. Other than air, light acts on everything. If light did not reflect off of objects, they would be invisible. EDIT: Visible light cannot penetrate a mirror. If the mirror is of suitable quality, most of the light should be reflected, with the remainder being absorbed. EDIT: light acts on air, it does not act on a vacuum, it travels straight thru it. with air however, light is difracted
