Question

Why do waves with frequencies higher than visible light hurt while those with lower frequencies do not affect us?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Waves with higher frequency have high penetration power. Energy of a wave id directly proportional to the frequency of the wave so penetration power is high. Visible rays suits to the human body and do not harm. Humans can see visible light and can easily work in visible range. But in the higher frequency such as UV waves and radio waves penetrate human body and affect it in negative way.

Answer 2

Lower frequency waves have less strength to penetrate. How bad a wave is all depends on how well it penetrates our bodies. Visible light doesn't penetrate ur skin, but UV rays (higher than visible) can go through our skin, making it bad" for us. High frequency waves have more energy and move faster
