Why is the limit of exposure to RF the lowest in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 300 MHz, according to Safety Code 6?
  • There are more transmitters operating in this range
  • There are fewer transmitters operating in this range
  • Most transmissions in this range are for a longer time
  • Correct Answer
    The human body absorbs RF energy the most in this range

Which of the following statements is not correct?
  • Maximum exposure levels of RF fields to the general population, in the frequency range 10 to 300 MHz, is 28 VRMS/metre (E-field)
  • Permissible exposure levels of RF fields increases as frequency is increased above 300 MHz
  • Permissible exposure levels of RF fields increases as frequency is decreased below 10 MHz
  • Correct Answer
