- AM radio waves
- shortwave radio waves
- VHF radio waves
- UHF radio waves
- microwaves
- x-rays
- gamma rays
- neutron radiation
- neutrinos
- secondary cosmic rays
- etc.
For the electromagnetic spectrum the only bands that conventional walls are opaque to are infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light. If the walls have lots of metal in them then they may also be opaque to parts or all of the radio wave and microwave bands.
For particulate radiation the walls will be opaque to all charged particles, unless they are at very high energy (e.g. cosmic rays).

What is the recommended insulation thicknesses and densities for rigid polyurethane insulation for hot water piping application?

Can UVR go through glass or water or walls?
UVR is not able to penetrate opaque surfaces like walls, however, certain surfaces such as glass may allow UV radiation to penetrate depending on how the glass has been treated. Water allows UV to pass through but only to a certain depth where it will get absorbed in within the water molecules.

What is more dangerous gamma or alpha rays?
alpha radiation is more dangerous than beta or gamma if ingested or inhaled because its power to ionize (or to disrupt atoms) is 20x than that of beta and gamma. but if the source is outside the body or at a distance gamma radiation is much dangerous because it could penetrate thick walls.
How does heat travel through your home?
Heat energy travels in three ways: convection, radiation, and conduction. The radiation from the sun heats the air around the house, making the walls warm. Than, the walls warm up the air inside the house. The sun rays go through the windows, which will trap heat. The heated air will rise, and stay there unless there is an escape route for it.
