We can agree that space-based lasers are not present. But, for your information, the destructive effect against steel (or any other metal) is purely through the application of heat. It has nothing to do with "higher frequencies."
Umm... Yes it 100% has to do with frequencies. I mean, technically yes you can throw any amount of energy into a frequency and aim it at something and it will have some sort of effect, but there's something I may want to bring to your attention and that is the physical characteristics of an antenna and it's effect on frequencies, especially in the electromagnetic spectrum and it's ability to receive and transmit energy. This handy device is called an antenna.
Now EVERTHING is an antenna, to some regard, if steel in a particular shape, or type of material receives at a different frequency, you'll have more efficiency using that frequency.
But saying you're shooting a beam, what frequency would YOU use? Gotta pick something, might as well make it damn efficient to take out a building.
The only way we take frequency out of the equation is if the beam is not actually a beam and uses some other kind of technology using a different form of energy.
You could also just like... I don't know, send so much energy across a broad spectrum and just melt stuff, but as you might guess, would take up more than a literal shit ton of energy and would likely have signs of melting across all objects, not just steel, or you can fine tune it to effect just one thing.
Think X-Ray, we specifically use these because it's easy to go thru skin, but reflects off bone, giving us an image of bone directly. We use just a flash, it's a really high frequency, therefore, lots of energy/short distance, but we want different materials to react with it differently and use that information to deduce some sort of information. If you're going to destructive aspect, you can blast someone with radiation in the x-ray range and give someone cancer, say like 1,000 times more energy (idk im not a biologist) but 1000x more energy for such a short distance just to give a little bit of cancer and not melt someone first... you get my point right?
I figure DeathRayDesigner would have known that... But death rays may vary in technology? idk man, frequency is the key to most everything in terms of energy an things ranging from radio to x-rays, even to visible light.
You are making big assumptions. If you are talking about acoustic frequencies matching with structural resonant frequencies, that is called amplitude amplification and is a well-known failure mode. Lasers have nothing to do with acoustic frequencies. (There is a way in which they might, but that technical approach has been abandoned for the past 50 years, and it is not clear that such an approach wouldn't also destroy the laser.)
Antennas are means of coupling with photons whose wavelengths are similar to the antenna dimensions. When the wavelengths get smaller, the the scale disparity makes the coupling go away. All radio wavelengths are larger than infrared wavelengths, and near-infrared wavelengths (modern laser weapons) are almost at visible optical wavelengths. But laser wavelengths are easily stopped by clouds and smoke, which is the main reason they are not very useful for attacking ground targets. The next reason is that any laser satellite would only have seconds to pass over the target area, and not return for 12 hours. Really difficult to schedule. Plus, we don't have them in space.
X-rays go through everything. They just get absorbed more by bone. X-rays are also absorbed and scattered by the atmosphere, so they are not likely directed energy weapons. Plus we don't have x-ray lasers.
