-- Radiation at frequencies below 1.7 MHz is good because it helps us hear the news on AM radio. -- Radiation at frequencies between 88 and 108 MHz helps us hear music on FM radio. -- Radiation at frequencies around 1 GHz helps us make cell phone calls. -- Radiation at frequencies around 2.45 GHz helps us heat meatloaf and make popcorn, and it can't hurt us if we're careful with it. -- Radiation with wavelengths between 400 and 800 nanometers is good because it helps us see things so that we don't go around bumping into them. -- Radiation with wavelengths between 300 and 400 nanometers can give our skin a nice healthy glow, and it can't hurt us if we're careful with it. -- Radiation with wavelengths between 100 and 300 nanometers can help the doctor check our bones, and it can't hurt us if we're careful with it. -- Radiation with wavelengths less than maybe 350 nanometers can hurt us if we're not careful with it.
