EM Spectrum

MAGNETIC FIELDS BASICS Electromagnetic Spectrum

Time-varied magnetic fields, whether produced by the body itself, by therapeutic or man-made sources or on or around the planet itself, have a spectrum of frequencies within which they can occur. These are called the EM spectrum. The body produces a variety of frequencies of its own, through its own natural processes. These are usually measured in the low end of the EM spectrum, and are called ELF, or extremely low frequencies. Therapeutic or man-made sources can span a very broad range, including much of the EM spectrum. The Earth has its own frequencies and additional sources of both ionizing and nonionizing radiation come to us from outside the planet. Ionizing radiation is typically harmful to the body. However, ionizing radiation is used in medicine for diagnosis and treatment, including x-rays, isotope scanning and radiation therapy. Most of the magnetic fields used for therapy are the non-ionizing form. Basically then, humans are continually exposed to a broad array of electromagnetic frequencies, spanning the EM spectrum.
