Why can't I play with my mobile phone when it thunders?

In theory, you can play with your mobile phone when it thunders, but it is best to play with your mobile phone indoors, because if you are outdoors, especially in an open place, people are more likely to be struck by lightning because they are taller than the surrounding targets. It doesn't matter whether you play with your mobile phone or not at this time, but because the battery of your mobile phone may easily explode after being struck by lightning, it's best to put it away and find a safe place to avoid lightning when it thunders.

The thunder here refers to the big thunder. If it's just ray, it's generally harmless.

There are different opinions about whether you can make a phone call when it thunders. Some people say that thunder will interfere with the electromagnetic waves of mobile phones, which is biased. We will find that mobile phone signals belong to high-frequency electromagnetic waves, while lightning is mainly low-frequency waves, which is basically impossible to interfere with mobile phone signals. So thunder actually has no effect on making phone calls, which means you can also make phone calls when it thunders.

If electromagnetic waves can cause lightning, then modern society is full of electromagnetic waves, such as various signals from radio, television, telegraph, satellites, base station towers and so on. , right around us. If electromagnetic waves can cause lightning, then as long as a lightning strike comes down, we will be killed instantly by powerful current, but how many people are struck by lightning at home on a thunderstorm day? In fact, it depends on whether the lightning frequency is close to the signal frequency of our equipment to make a rational judgment.
