Question 10

Effects EM spectrum waves have on the body

Answer 10

Radio waves-passing through the body without being absorbed
Microwaves-microwaves maybe be absorbed meaning heating of the cells,which may be dangerous
Infrared radiation- reflected or absorbed by the skin,causing some heating too. It can cause burns to the skin if it gets too hot
Visible light-reflected or absorbed by the skin but can cause some heating effects
Ultraviolet-damages cells which may cause genetic mutations and cancer and can lead to tissue damage or radiation sickness
X-rays- cell damage
Gamma rays- may harm cells
