Hi;

Let's imagine that I have an antenna and a biological tissue.
The antenna emits the frequency of 1e7 Hz and I have a temperature increase x.
When the antenna emits the frequency of 3e7 and 6e7 Hz the temperature increase is the same.
How can I explain?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Several possible explanations:
1. Same power output.
2. Same sbsorption.
3. The temperature increase was due to the electric space heater placed under the biological tissue and had nothing to do with the radio waves.

The power output of the antenna is the same, but the absortion of the tissue is different, and there is no way that the temperature increase can only be related to tissue.
Anyway, thaanks!

4. The biological tissue is living (or decomposing) and self-generating thermal energy.

Is there a control sample that is not irradiated?

This is silly. You’re asking us to explain something you imagined! Imagine that!

I imagine no temperature change. My imagination is as valid as yours.

How can you be sure of this?
Because the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is differente

This makes a lot of sense
Thank you
