Transparency means that the photons are not affected (except for speed) by that material.
Radiation can travel through; solids, liquids, gases and it can also pass through a vacuem (where particles are not present). This is because radiation uses waves to emit not particles.
Gamma rays can both pass through matter and travel in a vacuum.
Light is not gas, liquid, solid or plasma. It also can pass through a vacuum and a clear solid. answer2: A rocket can pass through a vacuum and a bullet can pass through a clear solid. Light is like a little,little bullet of matter. Light is energy and energy is mc2 and m is the matter.
Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.

The short answer is that the photons are not energetic enough. Photons of x-rays and gamma rays are energetic enough to pass through metal.
Sound can pass through any state of matter.
yep

1) Photons don't exist as objects (that could get wet under any circumstances). 2) Even if the were "objects", they would be far too small to be "wetted" by a water molecule.

It depends what the 'matter' is ! For example - it can't penetrate wood - but can pass straight through a sheet of glass.
Light is composed of very small packages of electromagnetic energy called photons. We are able to see objects because light photons from the sun (or other light source) reflect off of the atoms within the object and some of these reflected photons reach the light sensors in our eyes and we can see the objects. It takes many millions of photons entering our eyes each second for us to view the world. When photons of light hit the atoms within an object three things can happen. First, the photons can bounce back from the atoms in the object; we call this reflection. Second, the photons can pass through an object such as glass and we call them transparent. Three, the photons can be stopped by the atoms within the object and the photon energy is converted to heat; we call this absorption.
