I was thinking about that.. and im not sure thats entierly accurate.. i mean higher frequencies, sure the super high stuff is obviously very penetrating... but the low stuff seems to be a mixed bag depending on how low and what material.. For example a lot of IR thats at a medium level doesnt penetrate trough too much... but extremely low IR like near 0 hz is going to be very penetrating through a lot of stuff.. but then you also get some weird effects too.

Yep, definitely a mixed bag, but as you mentioned, lots of frequencies beyond visible light start to interact with the chemical bonds, so usually there's more absorption there. UVB is absorbed by many chemical compounds and therefore deteriorates most of them.
