How do radio and Wi-Fi signals actually work?

I don’t think I was ever taught this but thinking about it it seems like suck a futuristic concept and I wanna know how they both work. Like, how do these things send invisible, intangible signals?

I’d love someone to tie these awesome explanations into why or how wifi, 5g etc couldn’t possibly damage or mess with your cells or brain synapses. For these folks that believe this, the radiation being non-ionizing isnt remotely enough.

JC Maxwell’s dis track to ICP’s “Miracles” would cover it estimably, and I have found an admirable proof of this, but the margin is too narrow to contain the ELI5 explanation

Same way as you’re capable of hearing sound frankly.

They’re waves. You just can’t hear them as they;re beyond your frequency. Instead of ears, radios do the same job.

It’s just like light. Some colours of light can go through some things that others can’t. Green light can go through green glass, whereas red light can’t.

What your WiFi is doing is just sending 1s and 0s. It’s switching a bunch of different coloured lights on and off to send numbers, numbers that become everything that your phone or computer need. The more modern standards of WiFi are just using more colours and turning them on and off faster.
