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.
Can electromagnetic waves travel through matter through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves such as light can pass through material medium such as water, glass etc and at the same time it could pass through vacuum ie a medium of free space.
What waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, and X-rays, can pass through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for propagation. However, mechanical waves, like sound waves, cannot propagate in a vacuum because they need a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through.
What kind of waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, can pass through a vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a material medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through and cannot propagate through a vacuum.
HOW TO PASS THROUGH SOLIDS?
it is physically impossible to pass through a solid objectansw2. But heat may pas through a solid, as may sound waves.
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

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.
How do you electromagnetic waves travel through solids?
The details are quite complicated, and involved quantum-mechanical considerations. They will travel through a material (solid or otherwise) if they are not absorbed, nor reflected. For example, an electromagnetic wave can only be absorbed if it is possible to raise the energy level of an electron by the amount of energy in the electromagnetic wave. If this does NOT happen, the wave will basically just go through.
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.
What does light not pass through?
non-clear solids
