Non-ionizing radiation includes the spectrum of ultraviolet (UV), visible light, infrared (IR), microwave (MW), radio frequency (RF) and extremely low frequency (ELF). Lasers commonly operate in the ...

Different types of radiation require different protective measures: a low energy form, called “non-ionizing radiation”, may require fewer protective measures than the higher energy “ionizing radiation ...

Microwaves use non-ionizing radiation, which moves atoms in a molecule but doesn’t remove electrons. Microwave radiation can’t alter the chemical makeup of your food. This means there’s no ...

For the first time, a national website providing information to the public on non-ionizing radiation – such as that caused by cell phone antennas and other electronic equipment – and its ...

Terahertz waves, known as non-ionizing radiation, can turn into ionization radiation when sufficiently many terahertz photons are focused in space and time. A team led by scientists in Korea and ...

The amount and type of radiation emitted by wireless headphones are not dangerous or harmful to the person wearing the devices. Wireless headphones emit non-ionizing radiation, a different form of ...

But as is usually the case, a closer look at examples a little further away from the extremes can be instructive, and tell us a little more about how radiation, both ionizing and non-ionizing ...
