Is non-ionising radiation (radiowaves) from cell phones similar to X-rays?
Non-ionizing radiation is different from X-rays in terms of the frequency and energy content per “unit” of radiation, the so-called photon-energy. Non-ionizing radiation contains much less photon-energy than X-rays and has a much lower frequency. X-rays have such high photon-energy that it can directly damage bio-molecules, non-ionising radiation does not have this capability. However, research has shown that non-ionising radiation can have indirect effects with biological consequences similar to those caused by X-rays.
