No mainly because it is impossible. The electromagnetic spectrum is everywhere visible light is a small part of it as are radio waves. It isn't a bad idea to avoid some of it X rays, ultraviolet light, microwaves etc. are potentially harmful hence the issue with cell phones high tension power cables etc.

No, because it's everywhere, and you cannot avoid electromagnetic radiation. The visible light we see is a form of electromagnetic radiation so technically we cannot avoid that. We need light to survive, because if we didn't have light plants will die which will effect many things including humans. So, electromagnetic radiation shouldn't be avoided.

How does the wavelength of X-ray energy affect the exposure of the body?

In general, the shorter the wavelength (the higher the frequency) of X-rays, the more energy the radiation has. That means that shorter wavelength X-rays have more penetrating power. It should be noted that X-rays are also a form of ionizing radiation; these electromagnetic waves have the energy to break chemical bonds. And they will to some extent, with the shorter wavelength rays doing the most damage. In a normal X-ray, the radiation dosage is low, and the negative effects minimized. The up side of the use of the X-ray makes it a great diagnostic tool for the medical investigator. The cost benefit ratio is one with a very low cost associated with it, and it's long on the benefits. If you break a bone and go into the ER, the emergency room physician will order an X-ray pretty quick to see what's up. A link can be found below.


In what ways is radiation useful?

Radiation is used every day for medical treatment. Radiation treatment is an accepted form of therapy for some forms of carcinoma. We also use it in medical imaging and in other forms of patient testing and evaluation. There is a lot of other biological investigation that involves the use of radiation emitted from nuclear materials, too. The so-called radioactive tracers help us track and document the processes of life. Industrial uses abound. We use radiation to sterilize things. It works very well, and it's more practical and cost-effective to have a radioactive source rather than use electricy to generate ionizing radiation. We also use "chunks" of radioactive material as a radiation source for portable X-rays. You wouldn't believe all the stuff we X-ray in the world of industry. Pipe welds are just one thing. You would expect that physicists are still investigating various aspects of nuclear behavior using radiation, and they are. There are still other uses of radiation, but note that there are a couple of basic "flavors" of radiation: electromagnetic (like X-rays and gamma rays) and particulate (like beta particles, protons and neutrons). Just wanted you to be aware of that. As an example, neutron flux in the core of an operating nuclear reactor is used in lots of applications to synthesize materials, and these materials will emit either kind of radiation depending on what we make and what we want. That's were a lot of nuclear materials come from. We also are seeing an increase in the use of the cyclotron, a particle accelerator. It is applied to both systhesize materials and also to be used in imaging and as a new treatment option in radiation therapy. It's a new frontier.

Should cell phones cost more or less?

It depends on the model you want.


Is nuclear fission dangerous?

Yes. But the risks can be managed, and we have nuclear power stations that testify to that. Certainly there have been accidents that speak to the dangers. People died of radiation sickness in some accidents. But there are a number of operating nuclear plants around the world that are critical right now and generating heat to make electricity. The cost-benefit ratio appears to be something that governments and (the majority of) society are willing to accept in allowing these plants to go online and operate.

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does night vision lie?

The question is a lot like asking "What is the frequency of hearing ?", or "How fast is speed ?", or "How much does money cost ?". "Night vision" is the sensitivity of the human eye to extremely low light conditions, or the use of optical and electronic devices to render an invisible scene in visible wavelengths. It's not a type of radiation that can be located on the electromagnetic spectrum.

How much does a session of radiation for cancer cost in the US?

The cost of a session of radiation for cancer can vary widely in the US depending on a number of factors such as the type of cancer being treated, the location of the treatment center, the type of radiation therapy used, and the patient's insurance coverage. According to a report by the National Cancer Institute, the average cost of a single radiation therapy session ranges from $2,500 to $5,000, depending on the type of treatment and the location of the treatment center. This cost typically includes the physician's fee, the cost of the radiation therapy equipment, and any necessary imaging or lab tests. However, it's important to note that this is just an average estimate, and the actual cost of radiation therapy can vary significantly based on individual circumstances. It's always a good idea to check with your insurance provider and treatment center to get an accurate estimate of the cost of your specific treatment plan.
