>>11046260>tfw at all times there’s waves in the air that are hitting you i.e. WiFi and it’s totally okayThere’s photon waves hitting you at all times from the Sun and other stars as well, not to mention millions of neutrinos.
>How does this work? Does it just pass between your molecules?Depends on the wavelength of the photon. You know how microwave oven screens have this weird grid pattern on them? Those gaps are smaller than the wavelengths of the photons used inside of microwave ovens so those waves can’t actually escape, but the gaps are smaller than the wavelengths of visible light so we can still see inside of them.
>Does it just not pass you and bounce off with no damage?Radio waves pass right through you while a few photons get absorbed. Of course, radio doesn’t work deep underground because the photons aren’t able to make it through all the molecules in the stone. When they do impact, they increase thermal energy, ie warming, but that’s about it.
>Not even energy transfer? How can everyone be constantly emitting out waves either cellular, WiFi, etc. and not be harmful?It’ll heat you up on some infinitesimal scale if that qualifies as harm to you. That’s how microwave ovens work.
>Then there’s alpha, beta and gamma particles. Alpha and beta particles aren’t photons. Gamma rays are photons and they’re quite dangerous, but not emitted by appliances for obvious reasons.
