Radiation In Nature
What does RF Radiation stand for?
Radio Frequency Radiation
Can RF Cause Cancer? Why not?
No, Radio frequency cannot cause cancer. Because it is a form of non ionizing radiation
Are all energy levels from phones constant? Yes or No? Why?
No, phones from different “generations ”emit different levels of radiation, due to their various working conditions, newer phones will have better networking then older phones meaning, it will emit less radiation
2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation phones emit 0.7-2.7 GHz of radio frequency. 5th generations can release up to 80 GHz.
Is RF Therapy Safe? Yes or No? Why?
Yes, research has found that RF therapy is safe and can be effective because the radio frequencies convert to thermal energy, causing it to create small injuries
What is a healthy amount of screen time?
Less than two hours per day
What type of Radiation do Cell Phones use?
Cell Phones use Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation.
It is different from other types of radiation, radio frequencies contain protons with low energy, other types of radiation are defined by the amount of energy found in protons.
Is RF a form of ionizing or non ionizing Radiation? Explain whichever one it is.
Radio frequency radiation is a form of non ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation is a type of low energy radiation that does not have enough energy to remove an electron from an atom or molecule.
When there is a weak connection with your phone, does it emit less RF energy or more? Why?
When there is a weak connection and when you have less than 2 bars, your phone has to work harder to connect to a network, which causes it to emit more RF than it usually does.
What is RF used for?
(only need to name 1 for points)
RF is used in broadcast, communication applications, remote control systems, wireless networks, and television systems.
What are the two most important chemistry elements?
Hydrogen and Helium
What is the frequency of an RF (Radiation Frequency) Cycle usually expressed in?
The frequency of an RF Cycle is usually expressed in terms of a unit called hertz (Hz) one Hz equals one cycle per second
How is the human body affected by RF Radiation, what is the maximum amount of exposure and what body parts are most affected?
High levels of Radio Frequency radiations can overheat the body tissue and increase body temperature. The body parts that are most affected are the eyes and testes due to the lack of blood flow to remove the excess amounts of heat. The maximum RF exposure is 1.6 watts per kilogram.
RF Radiation emitted by phones can increase by...
3,000, 250 or 10,000 times in high power situations? Why? (pick one)
The RF radiation emitted by phones can increase by over 10,000 times in high power situations. This may happen when the phone is connecting in areas with low signal.
Why is Radio Frequency important?
RF is important for many forms of communication that allow people from around the globe to communicate with each other, and it can also be used for face therapy.
What is a chemical reaction?
the process of chemicals interacting to form new chemicals with different compositions.
Mobile Phone stations emit constant levels of RF Frequency radiation. What do the levels of RF radiation emitted depend on?
The levels of radio frequency radiation emitted depends on how long you use your phone, how close the phone is being held, and distance from the base station to your phone.
How does RF radiation affect the bodies temperature regulation?
The human body absorbs energy from devices that emit radio frequency radiation (like cell phones), but the only biological effect is low heating towards body parts.
What does frequency describe?
Frequency describes the number of waves that pass a given point each second.
What does Radio Frequency do to your face?
(only need to name 1 for points)
RF can tighten sagging or Loose skin, Reduce fat accumulation under dermis, improve the skins appearance, help with acne, and fix uneven tone or texture of skin.
Will we continue to use phones regardless of their effects?
Yes
What is Radio Frequency Radiation?
Radio frequency radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a combination of electric and magnetic fields that move through space together as waves.
What does SAR stand for, what does it do, and what is the maximum amount that should be absorbed?
SAR stands for "SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE," and it is the quantity used for measuring the rate at which Radio Frequency is being absorbed by the human body.
The threshold level for Specific Absorption rate for the whole body is 4 watts per kilogram, the most restrictive limits on the whole body absorbs RF energy.
How do Cell phones work, during the process of radio frequency radiation?
Cell phones work by receiving signals to and from cell towers. These signals are a form of electromagnetic radiation which is radio frequency.
How does RF therapy for the face work?
RF therapy uses low energy radiation to heat the deep layer of your skin called the dermis. This heat produces collagen to help improve wrinkles and sagging skin.
What was the first element chemically discovered and by who?
In 1669, Phosphorus was the first element to be chemically discovered by Hennig Brandt
