Yes, they can in high levels. Science says radiowaves can vibrate our skin and if strong enough can actually massage or promote bloodflow. Blood is the vessel and/or vehical for oxygen transport. A high enough oxygen level is not only dangerous but deadly.

∙ 13y agoStrong radio waves CAN penetrate the skin. The depth of penetration is limited by the radio energy being transferred to water in the skin, turning that energy into heat.
A good example of high-frequency radio waves is found in your microwave oven.

Why is it harder to receive FM radio signals in some places?
waves spread out as distance gets farther. So at certain places there is no radio. Also if big concrete buildings or bridges in way, radio waves cant get through it because FM signals go in a straight lines while on the other hand am signals scatter so more people can use it Radio broadcasts bounce off of the ionized layer of the atmosphere, the ionosphere, in order to reach more distant receivers, but the state of the ionosphere can vary, and it does not always reflect the way we want it to.
Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves cant?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that need a medium to propagate. This can be air,water or solids. Sound waves work like a truck hitting a line of cars. The wave travels through the line from back to front but would not if there were no cars. Radio waves, like light are electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium to radiate. That is why we see Sunlight but do not hear the constant roar of the Sun's fusion activity.
Is the image produced by a radio telescope the same as the image produced by a optical telescope?
no you cant see image its appers in waves
Why can't sound waves travel though space?
sound waves cant travel through space because there is no oxygen, and if there is no oxygen there is nothing to carry the sound waves. youre welcom theSas
Which has more energy radio wave or x rays?
A gamma wave has more energy than a radio wave.

Why does UV radiation and radio waves have such different affects?
uv rays can give u sunburns but radio waves cant

What happens when p waves and S waves try to pass through the outer core?
s waves cant travel through it
What is the depth of the ionosphere?
Brady you cant find the answer can you.
What cant secondary waves travel through?
Ocean
Is the image produced by a radio telescope the same as the image produced by a optical telescope?
no you cant see image its appers in waves
Why cant sound waves travel through a vaccuum?
No medium to carry the sound energy.
Why if light and radio waves ar the same why can radio waves go through solid matter but light waves cant?
Because their wavelengths are different. Radio waves are much longer wavelength than light waves. Similar to being able to only hear the deep bass notes of a car radio with the windows rolled up, the bass notes are much longer wavelength, (and a lower frequency) and thus have an easier time penetrating solid objects. Radio waves are similar, different frequencies travel differently. AM radio, (1000 kHz or 1 mHz) can travel 1000 miles or more at night, while higher freq. FM (100 mHz) usually is good for 100 miles only while microwaves (2.4 gHz) can't make it through the small holes in the view screen of your microwave oven door. The higher the frequency of the radio signal, the closer it approaches the characteristics of light, ie the more of a straight line it travels and is shielded by solid objects.
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
Why can't sound waves travel though space?
sound waves cant travel through space because there is no oxygen, and if there is no oxygen there is nothing to carry the sound waves. youre welcom theSas
Why cant sound waves travel through foam?
Because sound waves carry energy particles called clots and clots are too large to pass through the low density material as foam
