They can be, if you're willing to put in the effort that it would require.
You must be slightly off-kilter to begin with, and then here are a few ways
it might be done:
-- Modify your microwave oven so that it can run with the door open. Then
stand in front of it while you pop the corn or heat the leftover meatloaf.
-- Set up your lounge chair, then relax with a drink and a good book, five feet
in front of a Doppler radar antenna. Stay there for a substantial length of time.
-- Take an office job at a popular FM radio station that serves a large geographic
area. Set up your office on a platform mounted on the tower, either at the top,
or, better, between two bays of the transmitting antenna.
Short of those efforts or similar ones, your attempts to do yourself harm
by means of radio waves are doomed to failure.

What effect do radio waves have on living cells?

Can people disrupt radio waves by standing in front of them?
Yes. Radio waves are electromagnetic and are affected by anything that conducts electricity. The human body is mostly made of water, which conducts electricity and therefore affects radio waves. To demonstrate the effect, see what happens when you move around a radio tuned to a station with relatively poor reception.
Why does gamma radiation damage body cells but radio waves do not?
The energy of a electromagnetic wave increases as the wavelength decreases. Radio waves have a very long wavelength compared to gamma rays. Since gamma rays have so much energy, they can change molecules by "kicking out" electrons with their energy. Where as radio waves don't have enough energy to effect many compounds.
Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
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.)

What is the frequency range of radio waves that can penetrate human body?
The frequency range that the radio waves can penetrate the human body is between 1Hz and 10 KHz. This frequency of the radio waves is however not dangerous.

What waves are used in MRI machine?
MRI machines use radio waves to magnetize the hydrogen atoms in the body. When the radio waves are turned off, the hydrogen atoms release energy in the form of radio waves that are detected by the MRI machine to create an image of the internal structures of the body.

Do radio and microwaves produce photoelectric effect?
No, radio waves and microwaves do not produce the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a material when it is exposed to light of sufficient frequency (typically ultraviolet or higher). Radio waves and microwaves have lower frequencies and energies than light, so they are not capable of causing the photoelectric effect.
Do Radio waves bend in magnetic fields?
Yes, radio waves can bend in a magnetic field through a phenomenon known as the Faraday effect. When radio waves travel through a magnetic field, the orientation of their electric field can be rotated, causing them to bend. This effect is commonly used in polarization modulation techniques and can impact the propagation of radio signals in certain conditions.
What kind of waves are used in magnetic resonance imaging to map body tissues?
To map body tissues, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a combination of techniques: a powerful magnetic field, and radio waves. Radio waves are utilized for mapping because they will not damage the body tissue.
Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Why do hospitals use x rays instead of radio waves for looking in peoples bodies?
Radio waves (along with magnetism) are used for that purpose instead of x-rays in MRI machines. x-rays are absorbed by the body differently than radio waves, so it depends on what in the body is being looked at.
What are the different types of waves that are given off by the human body?
The human body gives off different types of waves, including electromagnetic waves such as infrared radiation and radio waves, as well as acoustic waves like sound waves.
Why do radio waves diffract around building's while light waves do not?
