Flickering lamps can induce headaches. But if the flickering happens millions of times a second—far faster than the eye can see or the brain process—then it might be harnessed to do something useful, like transmitting data. This is the idea behind Li-Fi, or Light Fidelity. The term Li-Fi was coined by University of Edinburgh Professor Harald Haas in a 2011 TED Talk, where he introduced the idea of “wireless data from every light.” Today, Li-Fi has developed into a wireless technology that allows data to be sent at high speeds, working with light-emitting diodes (LEDs), an increasingly popular way to illuminate public areas and homes. Using LED lights as networking devices for data transmission, Li-Fi has several advantages over Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity). First, Li-Fi allows for greater security on local networks, as light cannot penetrate walls or doors, unlike radio waves used in Wi-Fi. As long as transparent materials like glass windows are covered, access to a Li-Fi channel is limited to devices inside the room, ensuring that signals cannot be hacked from remote locations. Also, Li-Fi can operate in electromagnetic sensitive areas such as aircraft cabins, hospitals, and nuclear power plants, for light does not interfere with radio signals. The most significant advantage of Li-Fi is speed. Researchers have achieved speeds of 224 gigabits per second in lab conditions, much faster than Wi-Fi broadband. How could Li-Fi enrich daily life? Anywhere there is LED lighting, there is an opportunity for Li-Fi enabled applications. Li-Fi-enabled street lights could provide internet access to mobile phones, making walking at night safer. The LED bulbs in traffic lights could provide drivers with weather conditions and traffic updates. Li-Fi could help with tourism by providing an easier access to local information. At home, smart light could also provide parents with solutions to their children’s Internet addiction: Just turn off the lights and you’ve turned off their access. When 14 billion light bulbs mean 14 billion potential transmitters of wireless data, a cleaner, a greener, and even a brighter future is on the way.

According to the passage, which of the following is an advantage of Li-Fi over Wi-Fi?
- A Li-Fi can be powered by radio and save more energy.
- B Li-Fi guides pedestrians in areas where vehicles cannot travel.
- C Li-Fi provides safer transmission of data during a power failure.
- D Li-Fi can be used in areas where Wi-Fi may interfere with radar signals.

請分析文章第二段提及之「傳輸介質」差異，特別是關於電磁干擾 ($Electromagnetic Interference$) 的部分。當文中指出 Li-Fi 不會影響無線電訊號時，這在哪些需要高度通訊精準且嚴禁無線電訊號疊加的場景中具備競爭力？

喲，居然對了？看來你還沒被文中那 140 億個燈泡晃瞎眼嘛。這種送分題要是再錯，我建議你直接去應徵文中提到的「透明材料」——玻璃，至少你還能讓 Li-Fi 穿透，對社會還算有點物理貢獻。 這題考的是細節比對。文章第二段明確指出：Li-Fi 可以在「電磁敏感區域」（如機艙、醫院）運作，因為「光不會干擾無線電訊號」。Wi-Fi 使用的是無線電波，其頻率 $f$ 與飛機雷達或醫療器材相近，容易產生干擾；而 Li-Fi 使用的是可見光，頻率遠高於無線電波，根據波速公式 $v = f\lambda$，兩者特性迥異，這就是 (D) 選項的邏輯核心。 至於鑑別度？這題純粹在考你有沒有長眼睛。選項 (A) 說 Li-Fi 由 radio 驅動、(C) 說斷電還能傳輸，這種睜眼說瞎話的誘答選項如果你還會選，那你的未來可能比關掉 Li-Fi 的房間還要黑暗。
