The discussion centers on the necessary conditions for the emission of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), specifically highlighting the role of electromagnetic waves such as light, radio waves, microwaves, and gamma rays. It emphasizes the importance of electric and magnetic fields (EMF) in the context of EMR. Additionally, there is a mention of health concerns related to EMR exposure, particularly regarding cell phones, although no conclusive evidence has been established linking EMR to cancer. The conversation suggests conducting a Google search for further literature on the topic.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, health professionals concerned with EMR effects, and researchers interested in electromagnetic radiation and its implications.
You need an electromagnetic wave...light, radio waves, microwaves, gamma rays, etc,. and ,in particular , electricity, where the term EMF (electric and magnetic fields) is more commonly used than the term EMR (electromagnetic radiation). Are you being asked to write about EMR and its possible health effects on humans? I'm just guessing, it cause some concern awhile back about causing certain cancers (also cell phone EMR was a concern), none of which has ever been proven, There's probably tons of literature available ..try a Google search.desormais said:Homework Statement
Sorry if this is the wrong place, I'm new here but I've been given a little paper to write on electromagnetic radiation. I am having trouble finding what the necessary conditions are for the emission of EMR, and kind of don't understand what it's really asking me for.
thanks in advance.
