EMF Glossary

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.

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

Hertz is the number of cycles (waves) that pass a given area in one second.

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.

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.

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

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.
