Fields Pass through some Objects...Reconsidered

  • Yes and no.
  • Some fields can pass through some objects (an electric field passing through a piece of paper).
  • Some fields can't pass through any objects (air considered as a field of pressure cannot pass through a solid wall).
  • WAVES pass through some objects (a sound wave can propagate through a solid wall, while the air field carrying the wave does not).
