Can microwaves pass through the human body?

Best Answers

Human body is lossy medium with nonzero value of conductivity. So human body is lossy medium for electromagnetic waves. Microwaves can pass through body but losses and scattering is very high as compare to transmission. Relative permittivity of human body is complex and function of frequency. read more

Microwaves can pass through body but losses and scattering is very high as compare to transmission. Relative permittivity of human body is complex and function of frequency. Due to this fact transmission, scattering and losses of microwaves in human body is also function of frequency. read more

This is because sound waves hit our body and try to travel through us. A partial resonance is felt and thereby, we vibrate. This is an example for the question's justification. read more
