About this document
Understanding Electromagnetic Radiation by api-281187166 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The electromagnetic spectrum interacts differently with matter depending on its frequency. Lower frequencies like radio waves pass through the human body, while higher frequencies like visible light are absorbed more. In the ultraviolet range, radiation is absorbed in skin. X-rays pass through bodies again since absorption mechanisms are reduced, but deposit more energy through ionization. The energy levels of atoms and molecules determine whether radiation is absorbed or passes through.
