What type of radiation are radio signals?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. Non-ionizing radiation
Radio signals are non-ionizing radiation. They do not have enough energy to knock electrons from atoms the way X-rays or gamma rays do. However, strong RF can still heat body tissue, so exposure limits still apply.
Tip: Radio waves: non-ionizing, but still can heat.
