What kind of electromagnetic energy penetrates solids?
All electromagnetic waves technically have the ability to penetrate solids depending on the solid itself. However in a practical sense:- High energy electromagnetic particles can pass through solids such as X-rays (to some extent) and Gamma rays which can pass through several metres of lead reinforced concrete. Radio waves and microwaves can also pass through solids hence why we use these frequencies to communicate. Infra-red can permeate through house walls and such. Hence why infrared cameras are used by police. visible and ultraviolet will only pass through transparent substances or really thin solids. They are more likely to be absorbed or reflected than to pass through objects.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can pass through flesh but is absorbed by bones and teeth?
That sounds like the description of x-rays.
What waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic weaves can pass through a vacuum.
How do solids pass through liquids?
By displacing the liquid.
Do electromagnetic waves have to pass through a solid medium?
no
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does not pass through your atmosphere?
X-Rays
Electromagnetic waves are waves which can pass through a region where nothing exists such as outerspace which of the waves below is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Sound.

How is frequency defined in electromagnetic energy?
in electromagnetic spectrum, the number of waves that pass a certain point in one second is the wave's what
What waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic weaves can pass through a vacuum.
Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
Why can radio waves pass through walls but light cannot?
Radio waves are longer on the electromagnetic spectrum and can penetrate objects because they are less dense. Visible light and infrared light are shorter and therefore too dense to pass through objects.
Are all waves compressional waves?
No, compressional waves travel through liquids and gases. Transverse waves pass through solids. You may also be forgetting electromagnetic waves such as light, radio, x-rays, etc that propagate in neither of these ways and can even pass through vacuums.
which band of em spectrum pass through the atmosphere most easily ex) visible, infrared, radio waves?
Radio waves are the type of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through the atmosphere most easily. This is because they have the longest wavelengths and the lowest frequencies of all types of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves can also pass through solid objects, which makes them useful for a variety of applications, such as broadcasting, communication, and remote sensing.
What does light not pass through?
non-clear solids
How do solids pass through liquids?
By displacing the liquid.
