My example is pretty simple. An antenna does not radiate only 900MHz. It radiates a distribution, centered around 900MHz. The fall-off is rapid, but there is non-zero power at higher frequencies, and there can also be harmonics. It's just an example, but the point is there could be some hidden effect we're not considering or aware of. It would hardly be the first time we thought we had it all figured out, and whoa hey there, we didn't expect that to happen.
- dogma1138 8y agoWhile the antenna doesn’t radiate a single frequency it doesn’t radiate ionizing radiation at any frequency. There can be plenty of “hidden” effects for non-ionizing radiation for example we don’t know how the extra energy affects the molecular processes in cells you don’t have to ionize something to fuck things up a microwave would cook an egg without ever ionizing it’s molecules.
