How is RF radiation different to the radiation we learn about in school?
What can they penetrate and what can block them?
I looked up articles but i don’t really understand. I’ve been sleeping with my phone under my pillow for 7 years and i need to know if my pillow was enough to block out the RF radiation emitted by my phone or if i have an increased risk in brain cancer.
(Sorry if this is all phrased incorrectly, i’ve been panicking for the past few minutes)
In: Chemistry
RF and gamma radiation are both electromagnetic waves, but on opposite ends of the spectrum. RF radiation is very low energy, too low to actually make chemical changes to the molecules in your body. It’s very safe. Gamma radiation is very high energy and can damage your cells and your DNA.
Alpha and beta radiation are different, they’re particles. Alpha radiation are helium nuclei and beta radiation are high energy electrons.
