Each case of communicable disease is the result of an orderly progression in. a series of events. This series of events may be described as a three-link chain, each. link representing a factor essential to the transmission of disease. These links (figure 1-1) are: (1) The source of the disease (reservoir) (2) The means by which the disease may be transmitted (mode of.
Radio Waves. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic (EM) radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light . They have have frequencies from 300 GHz to as low as 3 kHz, and corresponding wavelengths from 1 millimeter to 100 kilometers. Like all other electromagnetic waves, radio waves travel at the speed of light. Naturally occurring radio waves are made by lightning or by astronomical objects.
Radiation the emission and propagation of energy through space or tissue in the form of waves. It usually refers to electromagnetic radiation, classified by its frequency: radio, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma ray and cosmic rays. Natural background radiation --.
