Why do exposure limits vary with frequency?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. The human body absorbs more RF energy at some frequencies than at others
Exposure limits vary with frequency because the human body absorbs more RF energy at some frequencies than at others. The body absorbs the most in roughly the 30-300 MHz range. Lower frequencies do not have more energy, so that choice is wrong.
Tip: Body absorbs some frequencies more.
