Electromagnetic spectrum - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Low energy
    - - Cooking food, radar, satellites, mobile phones
    - - Internal heating of body cells (burns)
    - - Use microwave ovens with door seals, avoid standing too close to strong transmitters
- - - - High energy
    - - Skin cancer, sunburn, eye damage
    - - Sterilisation, tanning lamps, detecting fake banknotes
    - - Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, limit sun exposure
- - - - Cell mutation, cancer risk
    - - Medical imaging, airport scanners
    - - Very high energy
    - - Lead aprons, limited exposure, only when medically necessary
- - - - Highest energy
    - - Severe cell damage, radiation sickness, cancer
    - - Cancer radiotherapy, sterilising medical equipment
    - - Thick lead/concrete shielding, remote handling, minimal exposure time
- - - - Eye damage from intense light (e.g, lasers, Sun)
    - - Seeing, photography, optical fibres, screens
    - - Never look directly at Sun or lasers, wear eye protection when needed
    - - Medium energy
- - - - Radio & TV broadcasting, communication, Wi-Fi
    - - Lowe energy
    - - Very low risk but strong exposure may heat body tissue.
    - - Limit very close exposure to powerful transmitters
- - - - Skin burns, overheating
    - - Heaters, remote controls, thermal cameras, night vision
    - - Low-medium energy
    - - Avoid long exposure to strong heat sources, wear protective clothing
