Where can I learn more about media queries for jQuery?

I have googled media query for jQuery and everything that comes up is a bit advanced for me.

Can anyone explain what the @media function does. Is it a reference to the css file in the project?

Media queries have nothing to do with jQuery. Media queries are for responsive design, and are written in a .css stylesheet. It lets you write css based on the screen size of the device you are writing for (phones, tablets, desktops, etc). Googling media queries for jQuery will likely get you nowhere. Good luck!
