What the photons doin?
In: 6
Light does occassionally bounce around our bodies but not the light we perceive with eyes. That light was converted from an electromagnetic wave into an electrochemical reaction on the surface of a rod/cone cell.
Radio waves pass through us constantly, and they are pretty much everywhere on earth with electronics. When traveling by airplane, we are exposed to an increase in X-ray waves. UV waves from the sun come through in larger ratio near the equator; they can be absorbed and potentially damage us, pass through us and miss us, or bounce off our tan or sunscreen. Light at most frequencies can pass through us if it happens to intersect us, with visible light being an obvious exception to the rule.
