Heating Effect

– Infrared heating

Fires and hot bodies emit infra-red radiation. Our skin absorbs the infra-red rays, making us feel warm.

– Microwaves heating

Microwaves are of a non-ionizing character. However, microwaves, being more penetrative, can cause more severe burns to the skin, especially when skin has high water content.

Ionisation Effect

UV rays, X-ray, Gamma ray can cause breakdown of DNA, and ionization of molecules and atoms in living matter. The mutation of these cells and atoms can lead to formation of cancerous cells.
