Thus every chemical element, when irradiated by X-rays, emits two rays of different penetrability, that is to say, every element can by fluorescence emit an X-ray spectrum of two lines or line-groups, the so-called K-series and L-series.

Of these, the K-series have the greater penetrability. From Wordnik.com. [Nobel Prize in Physics 1917 - Presentation] Reference
The debate is the next day, so Cox wants to run out to the library to scout out its penetrability. From Wordnik.com. [FLY FISHING WITH DARTH VADER] Reference
Since neutrons are electrically neutral, they have great penetrability and hence search the whole sample. From Wordnik.com. [Press Release: The 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics] Reference
But, if penetrability is to mean identity, the theory that souls are penetrable seems to me mainly unintelligible. From Wordnik.com. [Philosophy and Religion Six Lectures Delivered at Cambridge] Reference

In a subsequent paper, Pylyshyn (1978) introduced an important new argument against pictorialism, based on the concepts (which he introduced) of cognitive penetrability and impenetrability. From Wordnik.com. [His Name Was Do Re Mi] Reference
Thus the rays have the same penetrability as the primary rays, and, as they prove in other respects to have the same qualities as the primary rays, they must be regarded as a diffused primary radiation. From Wordnik.com. [Nobel Prize in Physics 1917 - Presentation] Reference
Just as, in agreement with Stokes 'law, fluorescence can only be generated by light of a higher frequency, so too the characteristic radiation requires for its origination a greater penetrability of the primary rays. From Wordnik.com. [Nobel Prize in Physics 1917 - Presentation] Reference
Both isotropy and Quineanness are features that preclude encapsulation, since their possession by a system would require potentially unlimited access to the contents of central memory, and hence cognitive penetrability to the max. From Wordnik.com. [Modularity of Mind] Reference
It was Barkla who, through his fundamental researches, proved that the secondary X-radiation consists partly in a scattering of X-rays, which he thought to have the same penetrability as the original radiation, and partly in a specific.

Soon after her completion, "compound" armour plates, -- with a hard steel face on a backing of wrought-iron -- were introduced, which enabled a third of the weight of the armour to be saved, yet leaving the amount of penetrability unchanged.
