Light can pass through either objects which have totally regular particle structure (eg:diamond) or objects with a totally irregular particle structure (like air).

Objects which have a degree of regularity in their structure but are not totally irregular nor regular do not let light through.

Metals, which do have totally regular structure, are shiny due to the fact that the positively charged ions are surrounded by a 'sea' of electrons, which causes them to be shiny.

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.
