The Science of Electromagnetic Waves

Updated: Jul 19

Good morning 🌞

This time, I researched electromagnetic waves from smartphones 📱✨✨

Nowadays, we can’t work without using smartphones. Of course, everyone has one, but did you know that smartphones emit electromagnetic waves that are visible to the human eye, called visible light ✨✨

Since it’s a bit complex, I summarized it below↓

1. [Electromagnetic waves]

Electromagnetic waves are light waves that follow the magnetic field in space ✨✨

[Types]

(Gamma rays) (X-rays) (Ultraviolet rays) → (Ionizing radiation)

(Visible light) (Near-infrared) (Infrared) (Far-infrared)

(Extremely low-frequency ELF waves) → (Non-ionizing radiation)

(FM) (AM) (Microwaves) → (Radio waves)

(Radio waves) are electromagnetic waves that can be used by electronic devices available to humans, and we call them (radio waves) ✨✨

Radio is also a (radio wave) ✨✨

(Blue light) is one of the colors of visible light, like red or purple ✨✨

(Ionizing radiation) is radiation that ionizes atoms and molecules in human cells, breaking DNA cells and creating abnormal chromosomal cells, thereby increasing cancer rates ✨✨

(Visible light) determines whether light passes through an object or not. If light passes through an object, it becomes invisible, and if it hits and reflects off an object, it becomes visible ✨✨

(Invisible people are not seen because light passes through their bodies)

2. [Frequency]

Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), indicating the number of vibrations per second. 1 Hz is one vibration per second. Next, 1 kilohertz (kHz) is 1000 Hz → 1 kHz, 1000 kHz → 1 megahertz (MHz), and so on, increasing to gigahertz (GHz) and terahertz (THz) infinitely ✨✨

3. [Wavelength]

Wavelength represents the cycle of a wave, with the peaks of waves as an image! The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength, and the lower the frequency, the longer the wavelength ✨✨

This is a rough explanation ✨✨

By the way, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the most carcinogenic thing in nature is sunlight. Excessive exposure to solar radiation can cause skin cancer 🥺

Now, the question is whether smartphone electromagnetic waves are carcinogenic. Many countries, including the USA 🇺🇸, South Korea 🇰🇷, Japan 🇯🇵, Australia 🇦🇺, Denmark 🇩🇰, and Italy 🇮🇹, have conducted experiments.

In American experiments, rats exposed to mobile electromagnetic waves developed cancer cells called (Schwann cell tumors). Similarly, in Italian experiments, male rats developed nerve sheath tumors in their hearts after being exposed to 2G radio waves for 19 hours a day.

Australian studies reported a link between leukemia and proximity to mobile base stations. Other studies have shown an increased cancer rate near the ear when using a smartphone for calls, and an increased rate of prostate cancer and breast cancer when smartphones were carried in bags.

Additionally, research indicates that the longer and more frequently smartphones are used, the higher the incidence of leukemia and cancer 🥲🥲

Therefore, it is important to minimize smartphone usage time ✨✨

Furthermore, it is known that smartphone radio waves can resonate with other similar frequencies, creating larger electromagnetic waves. This phenomenon, called (cyclotron resonance), occurs in urban areas with many mobile base stations and smartphone users.

However, looking at research reports, while there is a correlation between increased cancer rates and smartphone usage, the numbers are very small. Hence, limiting smartphone usage time to some extent should not be a problem ✨✨

It is crucial to turn off the power or switch to airplane mode when outside, and to place the smartphone away from the bed and turn it off while sleeping ✨✨

Here are some electromagnetic wave countermeasures that I personally follow↓

[Consume plenty of polyphenols]

Eat foods rich in polyphenols like tea, coffee, and blueberries to remove free radicals ✨✨

If you think you have been exposed to too much sunlight or used your smartphone excessively, try consuming these.

[Vegetables]

Vegetables like broccoli 🥦 and spinach are very effective ✨✨

[Drink water]

It is known that using smartphones for long periods raises body temperature, so drink water frequently.

[Glasses 🥸]

Excessive smartphone use increases the risk of cataracts, so wear blue light blocking glasses 👓 when using your smartphone to work 🥸✨✨

[Turn off the power frequently]

Turn off the power when not in use, such as when going out or sleeping ✨✨

Take breaks, such as using the smartphone for 30 minutes and resting for 15 minutes.

How was it??

This time, I researched electromagnetic waves, which are surprisingly unknown ✨✨

Thank you for reading ☀️☀️
