How are microwaves harmful to the human body?
At high power it will cook you. At low power its usually harmless; however it can cause random cellular disruption which CAN (not necessarily will) cause cancers.
What are the dangers of microwave radiation?
In general, microwaves are harmful if they are very powerful and concentrated. All of our ordinary microwave-emitting devices are perfectly safe to use because they are very low power. A microwave oven doesn't release enough of the energy to cause harm when the door is properly closed - hence, a microwave that functions with a door open could be potentially harmful. Very powerful microwaves are harmful because they cause burns. Microwave radiation, despite popular claims, does not cause cancer or any other illness associated with exposure to ionizing radiation. Microwaves from cell phones, for example, are not powerful and concentrated enough to cause harm. In themselves, other than high power exposure - several kilowatts - that's many more times than what is inside an operating microwave oven, microwaves are not dangerous. However, injuries can occur from overheated foods - burns, scalds, eruptions and fires.
Can microwaves give you cancer?
No, there is no scientific documented evidence that microwaves give you cancer.
On the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves are located between infrared waves and radio waves. Which is true for microwaves?
That means that both the frequency and the wavelength of microwaves are also between those of infrared and radio waves.
Do microwaves use microwaves?
Microwaves are radio waves with frequencies above 3 GHz. They are used to communicate great volumes of information over distances up to 100 miles, at data rates up to several hundred megabits per second per carrier. Certain high-power devices use UHF radio waves to boil water and heat meatloaf. They are marketed under the generic name "microwave ovens" and referred to as "microwaves" by the population at large, even though they use radio waves at 2.45 GHz and, technically, fall 550 MHz short of rights to the title.
Is microwaves are harmful for your health?
Your grammar is horrible, but yes microwaves are harmful to your health.
Why are micro waves harm full?
Microwaves are not harmful, the only time when they are harmful is if the microwave is broken, as it can then emit harmful rays.
Is microwaved food harmful to your body?
No. Microwaves just excite the water molecules in the good. Once the microwave is done running, it does not leave anything harmful in the food.
Why cooking microwaves are useful and why harmful?
they are useful because they help you heat up stored food that has been frozen and they are harmful because you have to watch what you put in it because it can blow up.
What are the harmful rays which comes from microwave transmission?
They're called microwaves. they aren't inherently harmful, they're just another wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, like light or radio.
Is phone radiatioharmfull to man?
Research is still on-going - however it's well-known that prolonged exposure to concentrated microwaves is harmful.
What size wavelengths do harmful types of electromagnetic waves have?
very small wavelengths (near-infrared, far-infrared, sub-millimeter, microwaves)
Is microwave harmful during 1st trimester?
I would avoid them. I don't mean avoid using them, I just mean when you are cooking something in them, stay out of the room. If they are faulty they can give off microwaves which can be harmful to you, but particularly to your baby
What type of wave has a wave length longer than microwaves?
Gama rays have a longer length than microwaves. the sun exerts Gama rays, but the ozone layer protects earth from them. Gama rays actually quite harmful and can cause cancer.
