Ex-rays are and are used in doctors offices and airports! and sometimes to see how big your feet are! ;)

Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)
Primary wave- (P-waves) travel through solids liquids and gas. push/pull or compress waves. They travel faster and arive at seismic stations first. Secondary waves-(S-waves) travels ONLY through solids. moves side to side. Gets to the seismic stations second. I hope that helps!!
Yes, they do. Sound waves move fastest through solids, less fast through liquids, and slowest through gasses. This is because the molecules of solids are closer together, while those of gasses are further apart, creating more space that the waves must jump to move.
x-rays
Ultrasound waves are used to penetrate solids like tissues in medical imaging devices in doctors' offices. Ultrasound waves are high frequency sound waves that create images of internal body structures by bouncing off tissues and producing echoes.

Gamma waves
x-rays
X-rays are used to penetrate solids and are commonly used in medical settings, such as doctor's offices, for diagnostic imaging. They are also used in security screening at airports to detect hidden items in luggage.
Radio waves are generally considered the least dangerous type of wave. They have low energy and are not known to cause harm to living organisms in the same way that other types of waves, like ultraviolet or gamma rays, can.
Ultrasonic units can penetrate solids, liquids, and gases, depending on the frequency used. Higher frequency ultrasonic waves penetrate shallow tissues or liquids, while lower frequency waves can penetrate deeper tissues or solids.
A body wave that doesn't penetrate the earth's core is a secondary wave (S-wave). These waves travel only through solids and are slower than primary waves (P-waves), which can propagate through both solids and liquids. S-waves are responsible for the up-and-down movement of particles during an earthquake.
A body wave that doesn't penetrate the Earth's core is a type of seismic wave known as a S wave. S waves, also called secondary waves, are slower than P waves and only travel through solids. They cannot pass through the liquid outer core of the Earth.
Yes, microwave waves can penetrate through brick walls.
s-waves travel through solids only
