Radio waves do not damage human tissue as they pass through it. These waves cannot be detected
by our senses, but the radios in your home or auto convert them into sound waves that your ears can
perceive. The crackling noise you hear between channels or when no radio program is being broadcast

is actually the “sound” of the cosmic background radiation that has been emitted by all the stars, inclu-
ding our Sun, since the beginning of the universe. What we refer to as “sound” here is actually our per-
ception of our radios processing these waves and making them audible to our ears—followed by the sig-
nals our auditory nerves transmit to our brains.

In other words, the waves themselves do not really exist, since they have no material existence in the
physical sense. They must be converted into a form that the ears can
hear and the brain can interpret. The same applies to a television set.
Various light waves that are invisible to us are converted by the

set’s screen into a form we can perceive.
The photons that are the source of the perception we call
“light” are light particles and generally bounce off the atom
they first collide with. In doing so, they cause little harm to the-

ir point of impact. Because of the higher frequencies at which
they vibrate, ultraviolet rays carry a greater energy charge
that can effect our skin and may sometimes damage our
cell’s genetic codes. That is why excessive exposure to

sunlight can lead to cancer.
Due to their frequencies, the photons known as in-
frared leave some of their energy on the molecules
with which they collide and increase the rate at

which they vibrate—thus raising their temperature.

X-ray machines take photographs by converting the effect of radio waves into
visible light on photographic film.
