Hi, the title above is a specific instance of a more general question. I'm basically wondering why the atoms in a wall would prevent visible light from passing through, yet allow both X-rays (which are HIGHER frequency) and radio waves such as 802.11b wireless internet (which are LOWER frequency) to pass through.
What's going on in the interaction between the atoms in the wall and the photons of various frequencies that allows both a higher and a lower frequency light to pass through, while still stopping visible light?
Thanks!
