      Another analogy is ocean balls that children play in.
      Humans like radio waves can walk through with little resistance
      Flies like light may move through just a little but not much
      However ants like gamma moves between the gaps.

    I have been thinking the last year (I don’t know why not years ago!) that this is just magic that Wi-Fi is invisible and goes through everything. Your explanation is so awesome and easy to understand!!! I’m also curious about how the specific information (like a photo or a movie or anything) travels on these invisible waves. It must be just an incredible amount of information going through the air at all times… a little scary too

    • @randomshittutorials
      @randomshittutorials 2 роки тому +2

      BLUETOOTH:
      (for example)
      It works by emitting slightly different wavelengths. The devices that run on bluetooth are a similar idea to wifi. They send MILLIONS of different frequency waves PER SECOND.. and your airpods (fr example) receive at the same speed too.. millions of times per second.
      They don't send different wavelengths for different music, the only thing it sends is 2 slightly different wavelengths, one represents a 0, and the other a 1.
      The device reads these 1/0s at lightning speed, essentially decoding information into instructions.
      It gets way more complicated though!
      These 1s and 0s are sent in packages of a few hundred bits per milisecond.
      (so hundreds of 1s and 0s per package per milisecond)
      The start of this information is a security check, so that your airpods know what "package" is for you. Otherwise your music would fail when another bluetooth device is closeby.. it wouldn't know what signal is yours!
      So it sends a package with a "key" that only your airpods know. When the key is accepted, the other informstion is read.
      But there is even more.. to prevent people from tapping into your conversations and music signals, devices such as these send the 1s and 0s over slightly different channels.
      See it's actually *NOT* 2.4ghz...
      It's: 2,400 to 2,483.5 Mhz...
      There are tens of "channels" which your device switches between constantly, and only your airpods get to know what that channel is, so that if you were to tap 2,455mhz to see what music someone ELSE is listening to: all you would hear is weird noise, nothing useful..
      That way your information is private and you can listen using multiple bluetooth or wifi devices at the same time.
      If you accedentally lose a package because another device is on the same channel, your devices will know, and they will send the package again to fix the mistake.
      Since this all happens millions of times per second, you won't notice a thing, and your music will sound great.

  • @nygeek6471
    @nygeek6471 5 років тому +9

    2.4ghz and 5ghz refers to frequency, not wavelength. Since the frequency is inversely related to the wavelength, the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength, thus why 5ghz WiFi can not penetrate barriers as well as 2.4ghz WiFi bands, even though the higher frequency can transmit faster speeds.

    @kellychase2937 3 роки тому +1

    Technically, what Badzilla argues here is incorrect. I’m not attacking him, because analogies are meant to build intuition, and I think that is what he is doing. The way that he uses “large” implies a spatial component to the fields in light. Remember, that when you see those charts of light where you have electric fields in one direction, and orthogonal magnetic fields in the other, the height of those fields ARE NOT SPATIAL.
    It is not the “smallness” or “largeness” of certain EM frequencies that allows them to pass. Rather, it is the bands of frequencies that the matter in the walls won’t oscillate to. Imagine your friend is on a swing and you (the pusher) is pushing them at a certain rate (frequency) If you push them once every minute (low frequency), they will hardly move. If you push them once every second (high frequency), you will essentially cancel their oscillation out with half of your pushes.

    It's basically for what purpose they are.
    Sound wave are natural resonance of air. So it create's more eddy current in air molecule and get's reflected.
    Visible light got more colour's in it. When it come's in contact with matter with colour it's create's eddy current. Which reflect it back. And we see object.
    We just have to find out what is in wi fi signal. Only then we can stop it.

      @lundqvjrl9359 2 роки тому

      @@rajdeepkarmakar7676 If we keep it to the radio waves for simplicity. Radio EM waves can travel trough all and even trough nothing/vaccume so I would say non of the above. EM dont travel VIA any of the mediums but it is by-passing them = non of the above. BUT at the same time Radio EM waves CAN ofcource also be blocked (with just a sheet of aluminum foil for example.)
      To me EM waves is a super exotic thing that we dont understand the fundamentals of. But a thing we should be able to logicaly agree on is that it’s NOT a particle, right?
      To me, EM waves must be traveling via something else, some extra layer of stuff that we have not yet recogniced.

    But why does gamma rays can pass through walls if the mosquito represents that smaller wavelength???

    • @Amine-gz7gq
      @Amine-gz7gq Рік тому

      because in this case, the mosquito is small enough to avoid the atoms of the drops, but the mosquito will end up hitting a few drops and because it's so energetic, it will break them up. during a spread, several mosquitoes go off in all directions, some of them managing to avoid the raindrops for a certain distance, others hitting the drops and being reflected back. gamma rays that come into contact with human cells can destroy DNA and cause irreparable damage (cancer), because they have a lot of energy. the smaller the wave, the higher its frequency and the greater its energy.

      No, it actually cannot pass through your body. Your body absorbs wifi as heat. Wifi is non-ionic which means it can pass through walls and even cells in your body. But it isn't the right size to damage cells, nor pass through them efficiently, so it bounces around degrading into thermal energy. The power level is too low to generate enough heat to even measure (unless you stand in front of a GIANT radio tower transmitter, which would heat you exactly like a microwave oven).

    Sorry but the size example doesn't make any sense to me because in EMF world the smaller is more powerful so radio waves are actually the weakest type of EMF, so it doesn't make sense to say they're the biggest as if they would have more power. Sure they're long regarding their wave length, but that's just oscillation which means that the radio waves oscillate poorly which means they have little energy packed into them, just like car's wheels when they oscillate poorly aka spin slow. I think this explanation made no sense, but well done video anyway.

      I got you, bro. Remember that we are talking about something that is made up of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, or disturbances in electromagnetic space. The metal is a great conductor for electricity, so those disturbances when they pass through the metal will conduct electricity. Due to conservation of energy, when those waves conduct electricity in the metal, they “die out” because their energy goes to the movement of the electrons in the metal door.
