B

Beam angle

Beam Angle Definition

Beam angle is the light spread over distance. A narrow beam angle concentrates light, while a wide beam angle spreads the light. At the same distance from the light source, the narrow beam has more energy.

Extremely low frequency of 3 Hz

ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) Definition

Extremely Low Frequencies are those radio waves with frequencies between 3 and 30 Hz. ELF are a form of electromagnetic radiation.

G

Magnetic poles

Gauss (G or Gs) Definition

Gauss is a measure of a magnetic field's force on another magnetic field or on a conductor such as metal.

Irradiance

Irradiance Definition

Irradiance is the the light therapy device's power output in milliwatts per square centimeter of surface area at a given distance, where distance is usually three, 6, or 9 inches from the body.

R

RF satellite communication

Radio Frequency (RF) Definition

The Radio Frequency (RF) bandof the electromagnetic spectrum contains frequencies from 3 kHz to 300 GHz. The Microwave (MW) band is a portion of the RF band.

S

5G uses SHF waves

Super High Frequency (SHF) Definition

Super High Frequency includes radio waves from 3 GHz to 30 GHz on the EM spectrum.
Learn More

SAR should tell you how much RF your brain absorbs

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) Definition

SAR is a measure of how much non-ionizing radiation your body would absorb under laboratory conditions. It's actually a meaningless number that tells you nothing about the safety of a phone's RF emission.
