Radio waves aren't harmful at its usual pattern of operation. They are harmful only when a strong signal is close to a person.
It can cause cancer and other problems. Radio waves may also cure. All waves have different results.

∙ 11y agoThere are a few risks. mobile phones cause cancer, it is also linked to Cellular DNA Damage and some Radio waves can led to brain damage such as Alzheimer's disease.
Also Radio waves do have a high enough frequency to cause health problem.

∙ 14y agoThere is no evidence of any adverse health effects due to radio waves. Everything on earth is constantly being bombarded by radio waves from the sun, and has been for billions of years.

Why are radio waves generally harmless to humans?
They have low energy, long wavelength so they aren't harmful.
What are the positive and negative effects of radio waves?
because positive uses could be communication,
Why do radio waves diffract around building's while light waves do not?
Light waves do diffract, but the effect is very very small. In general diffraction effects are important when the object interacting with the wave has dimensions that are comparable to the wavelength of the wave. Light waves have much shorter wavelength compared to the radio waves. Hence the effect. (It should also be noted that radio waves penetrate buildings much better than light waves, but that leads to a more nuanced discussion of diffraction effects.)
Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
How radio waves harmful?
Radio waves are harmful to people because they give off radiation. Radiation is known to cause cancer in humans.
How does nuclear power affect you daily?
it releases harmful radio active waves which s harmful to all living organism
Radio waves harmful effect?
That's not a question, improve your sentence structure and I'll improve my answer
Are radio waves healthy for humans?
not for a long time. they are not very harmful as they have a long wavelength and a low frequency.
Why are radio waves generally harmless to humans?
They have low energy, long wavelength so they aren't harmful.
What are the positive and negative effects of radio waves?
because positive uses could be communication,
Is there a difference between radiation and nuclear radiation?
Radiation generally describes non harmful waves such as radio waves and light wave while nuclear radiation usually describes emission of harmful gamma rays.

In general diffraction effects are important when the object interacting with the wave has dimensions that are comparable to the wavelength of the wave.

(It should also be noted that radio waves penetrate buildings much better than light waves, but that leads to a more nuanced discussion of diffraction effects.)
Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
Are radar waves visible?
No. Radar waves are one category of radio waves. Think of all the radio waves that are all around you right now . . . AM radio, FM radio, police and fire radio, highway patrol radio, taxi radio, television picture and sound radio waves, cellphone radio waves, garage-door-opener radio waves, bluetooth radio waves, WiFi waves, microwaves ... and you can't see any of them ! Radar waves can easily be there in the group.
