Eli5: How does wireless transmission penetrate through walls?
In: Physics
The same way light passes through glass. Lots of things are transparent on different wave spectrums. In the wave of x-rays, the skin is transparent but the bones are not.
Coke is actualy transparent in the UV spectrum but oil distorts uv rays.
Radiation goes through most things but is blocked by lead and other dence materials
Wireless transmission is just a part of the eletro magnetic spectrum and all things act differently there
How deep into a forest could you throw a ball?
It probably depends on how dense the forest is and what size the ball is right?
You’re thinking of walls as solid. But they’re really just a dense forest of particles. Think of it like a forest with only inches between each tree. Your hand doesn’t pass through the wall because it’s like a big giant beach ball — it will definitely hit a tree. But something smaller like a tennis ball, might pass through.
A photon is small and moves fast. It’s like a bullet. There’s a good chance it gets through.
