  2. Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    Electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation is also known as RF shielding. EMF shielding serves to minimize electromagnetic interference. The shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields, and electrostatic fields.

  3. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    The reception or transmission of radio waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation, to or from an antenna within a Faraday cage is heavily attenuated or blocked by the cage; however, a Faraday cage has varied attenuation depending on wave form, frequency, or the distance from receiver or transmitter, and receiver or transmitter power.

  4. Radio wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_wave

    Radio waves were first predicted by the theory of electromagnetism that was proposed in 1867 by Scottish mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell. [5] His mathematical theory, now called Maxwell's equations, predicted that a coupled electric and magnetic field could travel through space as an "electromagnetic wave".

    So NASA’s scientists wrapped the cables in a whole lot of aluminum foil and found that in 1979 Voyager 1 had safely swung past Jupiter and would continue on its legendary journey.

  6. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    The experiment belongs to a general class of "double path" experiments, in which a wave is split into two separate waves (the wave is typically made of many photons and better referred to as a wave front, not to be confused with the wave properties of the individual photon) that later combine into a single wave.

  7. Radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation

    Symbol for radio waves . Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light. Like all other electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light. Naturally occurring radio waves are made by lightning, or by certain astronomical objects.

  8. Radiation-absorbent material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation-absorbent_material

    Rubber and plastic with carbon powder with varying ratios were layered to absorb and disperse radar waves. The results were promising against 3 GHz frequencies, but poor against 3 cm wave length (10 GHz, X band) radar. Work on the program was halted due to allied bombing raids, but research was continued post war by the Americans to mild success.

  9. Tin foil hat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_foil_hat

    In 1962, Allan H. Frey discovered that the microwave auditory effect (i.e., the sounds induced by the reception of radio-frequency electromagnetic signals, heard as clicks and buzzes) can be blocked by a patch of wire mesh (rather than foil) placed above the temporal lobe. [10] [11] In 2005, a tongue-in-cheek experimental study [12] [13] by a ...
