Been studying science in college for about 2 years and this simple question has me questioning my own IQ. I understand how light travels through different mediums but photons are particles right? Actually physical particles that can travel through solid blocks of glass?
I dont know if Im just stupid or my teacher doesnt care, this question could keep me up at night.

Have you ever put your fingertip on a source of a concentrated light? Try putting a finger on your phone flashlight. The photons actually travel more or less through the solid matter. Whether it will fully pass through depends on how thick and compressed the matter is.
