radiation/ reaction to radio waves
« on: March 07, 2013, 06:48:33 AM »
hi Chem friends,
I am an IT engineer by profession.
I would like to know if there is any proven method to identify variation in radiation levels (and identify the variation also) of a chemical compound to radio waves?
there is a purpose behind my question.
best regards
dpn

It really does depend on your application.  I can give you two examples of the use of radio waves in chemistry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMR

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductively_coupled_plasma

If you're looking for conclusive proof of the pseudoscience people spout regarding common household EMF affecting people's health, then you'll have to ask them what they can come up with, and try and test it yourself.

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
