Question

Can human recieve radio waves?
If can, can someone give a clear explaination?
And any ways to put this sort of question on experiment?

Is there any ways that can show that human can receive radio waves through experiment?

Answer 1

In a sense, we DO receive radio waves; the various light waves that we can see as colors are part of the electromagnetic spectrum; likewise, the infrared waves that we receive are what we perceive as heat. We do not have any sensory organs that are capable of "translating" the other wave-lengths to which we are exposed into something we can perceive, but we are exposed to all sorts of radio frequencies every day, from man-made sources like television and radio broadcasts to natural sources such as the sun and other objects in space.

Answer 2

Although, currently, I do not believe that human beings have the ability to detect radio waves using any parts of their body (with no articificial help), I think that they can receive radio waves because I have heard from some people that body cells can be damaged when too many radio waves travel through the body. (So, in other words, if people were not able to receive these waves, then they could not be affected by the waves in any way. Or, could they?)

Answer 3

I've heard stories about people who could pick up radio stations from nearby transmission towers with their tooth fillings. The theory is that the filling-tooth interface acts as a diode, causing the radio wave to be rectified like in a primitive crystal radio set. That causes AM station signals to send sound-modulated current through the tooth nerve. This nerve happens to be extremely sensitive to electric current (the weird feeling you get biting aluminum foil is current from a galvanic reaction). The result is that you can "feel" the transmitted sound enough to, say, identify the tune being played.

Note, though, that this may be an Urban Legend. Sounds like one for Myth Busters.

Answer 4

The antenna delusion got here from Lucy Ball, who as quickly as claimed to take heed to radio stations in her mouth. It became concluded it ought to have come by means of her new filling; although there became in no way any evidence this certainly occured.
