frequencies, absorption loss becomes the dominant term. Figure 8.10 shows the
combined reflection and absorption losses for 0.05mm aluminium foil (σ

= 60 at 10kHz dropping to 1 above 1MHz) versus
frequency.
8.5.1Apertures
The curves in Figure 8.10 suggest that upwards of 200dB attenuation is easily
achievable using reasonable thicknesses of common materials. In fact, the practical
shielding effectiveness is limited by necessary apertures and discontinuities in the
shielding.
Apertures are needed for ventilation, for control access, and for viewing indicators.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
