Javascript anonymous function in settimeout function

const obj = {
  a: "prakash",
  name: function() {
    console.log(this.a);
  }
}

// Returns undefined because we extract
// it from obj and this is points to window object.
setTimeout(obj.name, 500);

// returns Prakash
setTimeout(function() {
  obj.name();
}, 500);

Could you please explain me how it is working inside the anonymous function. I know I can use "bind", instead of anonymous function. But I wanna know, the reason why it works when you use anonymous function.
