How Do Radiowaves Interact with Biological Systems?
Radiowaves interact with biological systems primarily through the mechanism of heating. The energy from these waves can cause molecules in the body to vibrate, leading to an increase in temperature. This is the principle behind microwave ovens, which use similar frequencies to heat food. In living organisms, excessive heating can potentially cause tissue damage. However, at the levels typically encountered in everyday life, such as from mobile phones and wireless networks, the energy is much lower and less likely to cause harmful heating effects.
