Starting with low frequency radio waves, the human body is quite transparent. (You can listen to your portable radio inside your home since the waves pass freely through the walls of your house and even through the person beside you!) As you move upward through microwaves and infrared to visible light, you absorb more and more strongly. In the lower ultraviolet range, all the UV from the sun is absorbed in a thin outer layer of your skin. As you move further up into the x-ray region of the spectrum, you become transparent again, because most of the mechanisms for absorption are gone. You then absorb only a small fraction of the radiation, but that absorption involves the more violent ionization events. Each portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has quantum energies appropriate for the excitation of certain types of physical processes. The energy levels for all physical processes at the atomic and molecular levels are quantized, and if there are no available quantized energy levels with spacings which match the quantum energy of the incident radiation, then the material will be transparent to that radiation, and it will pass through. Microwave interactions (Rotational transitions) 5 The quantum energy of microwave photons is in the range 0.00001 to 0.001 eV which is in the range of energies separating the quantum states of molecular rotation and torsion. The interaction of microwaves with matter other than metallic conductors will be to rotate molecules and produce heat as result of that molecular motion. Conductors will strongly absorb microwaves and any lower frequencies because they will cause electric currents which will heat the material. Most matter, including the human body, is largely transparent to microwaves. High intensity microwaves, as in a microwave oven where they pass back and forth through the food millions of times, will heat the material by producing molecular rotations and torsions. Rotational transitions may also occur in the rotational properties of molecules, but they are restricted to gases. They relate to changes in the momentum of inertia of the rotating molecules of gas. Rotational transitions are of most importance, together with vibrational transitions, in the interaction between EMR and the atmospheric gases through which the Earth’s surface must be viewed by the remote sensing system. Infrared interactions (Vibrational transitions) Vibrational transitions result in changes in the relative disposition of the component atoms of molecules. The quantum energy of infrared photons is in the range 0.001 to 1.7 eV which is in the range of energies separating the quantum states of molecular vibrations. All these discrete wavelengths superimposed together comprise a band within which transitions are induced. Infrared is absorbed more strongly than microwaves, but less strongly than visible light. The easiest to visualize are distorsions of bonds, either stretching or bending from one equilibrium state to another. The result of infrared absorption is heating of the tissue since it increases molecular vibrational activity. Infrared radiation does penetrate the skin further than visible light and can thus be used for photographic imaging of subcutaneous blood vessels. Like electronic transitions, those associated with molecular vibrations and bonds characterize solids, liquids and gases. Electronic transitions Electronic transitions involve shifts of electrons from one quantum shell to another. A photon of a specific wavelength may induce an electron to move from a lower orbit to a higher one, thereby allowing the EMR energy to be absorbed. The wavelengths that can cause electronic transitions are determined by the principal quantum numbers, angular momentum and spin associated with quantum shells within a particular element. Such electronic transitions occur in solids, liquids and gases, but are particularly important for elements like iron, which have several possible valence states, positions in molecular structures and coordinations in natural materials. Since electronic transitions require high excitation energies, they are most common at short wavelength ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet Interactions The near ultraviolet is absorbed very strongly in the surface layer of the skin by electron transitions. As you go to higher energies, the ionization energies for many molecules are reached and the more dangerous photoionization processes take place. Sunburn is primarily an effect of UV, and ionization produces the risk of skin cancer. The ozone layer in the upper atmosphere is important for human health because it absorbs most of the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun before it reaches the surface. The higher 6 frequencies in the ultraviolet are ionizing radiation and can produce harmful physiological effects ranging from sunburn to skin cancer. 7
