3G, 4G, 5G.. The larger the better, it seems.
Because at these shorter wavelengths signal suffer more absorption and degradation
Funny you should mention. My Physics teaches that shorter wavelengths have stronger penetrating power than longer wavelenghts. I might be missing something in the article.
That depends on the scale, gamma rays (shorter wavelength) penetrate better than light (longer wavelelength).
Shorter wavelengths have the problem where they actually bounce off buildings, and have a smaller maximal distance they can effectively travel.
However when it comes to 3G vs 4G vs 5G the frequency is a bit non homogeneous.

I thought you only know Biochemistry ^^. Safe to say that spectroscopy played a role here?
You'd be surprised at things we are capable of knowing :)
I taught general chemistry for a while. I know a few more things here and there.
Thanks for the awesome response.
Thanks for the post to respond in :)
Does not hold true in every application. At these frequencies - such as the proposed 28 GHz and 39 GHz – radio behaves differently. These short wavelength mmWaves are much more easily blocked by tree leaves and by your body.
Makes a lot of sense now. Thank you for the reply.
You are welcome.
