I was thinking "what if you increase the frequency to where the eye doesn't care" then I thought about how radio waves pass through our bodies and I remembered: wait a second, there is just one radiomagnetic spectrum!!!
As a page I googled states: "Optical radiation called light is the same thing as x-ray radiation is the same thing as microwave radiation is the same as infrared radiation is the same as radio waves."
0f course, when I think of radio waves they radiate out all over the place - but so does most light that isn't a laser.
Is there a "laser" in the higher, safe radio frequencies (which just pass through the body)? By laser I mean it's super focused with very tight parallel rays.
Could this be put in place of this system? After all the hard part of this system is aiming the laser, which this article says is done through active "sonar" (an acoustic beacon which is then localized).
Why not then target it with a radio "laser"?
- m-watson 9y agoThere are longer wavelength amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (LASER without the L for light) devices but there are technological limitations like cavity size (often larger) and lower power. An example used in astronomy is the MASER: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maser
