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.
Which type of barriers can gamma particle penetrate through?
Gamma radiation is highly penetrative, and can pass through many substances without stopping. Several centimetres of lead or several meters of concrete is required to dissipate gamma radiation.
Will gamma radiation pass through plastic wrappers?
Yes, Gamma rays can pass through a metal sheet.Gamma rays are the most penetrating of the radiations.Gamma rays are highly energetic waves.It cannot be said that a particular thickness of a material can absorb all gamma radiation.Many centimeters of lead or many meters of concrete are required to absorb high levels of gamma rays.
Will gamma rays passes through egg?
Yes, gamma rays will pass through an egg.
What definition is closest in meaning to the word penetrate in the sentence The deep sea divers kept warm by wearing suits that water could not penetrate?
"Penetrate" in this sentence means "pass through" as in "pass through a barrier", as the suit created a barrier through which no water could pass. It also has the meaning of "enter through an orifice", as there were no holes in the suit through which the water could enter.

Yes, gamma rays will pass through an egg.
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.

Do gamma rays pass through water?
Yes, they do.
What type of particles can pass through concrete?
gamma
How do gamma rays pass through the body?
gamma rays pass through the body by being absorbed by the skin and entering your body causing internal and external damage.
What form of electromagnetic radiation passes through skin but not bone?
Alpha radiation, it's force is too weak to even penetrate the outer layer of dead skin. Beta and Gamma radiation can pass through, Beta has trouble passing through clothes whereas Gamma is able to go straight through the body.
What does light not pass through?
non-clear solids
How do solids pass through liquids?
By displacing the liquid.
