Research is being done on the use of radio waves in destroying cancer cells. what type of frequency would be best used in this technology? justify your answer.

This is a John Kanzius Research. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) which is a type of Electrical Energy is used to treat cancer. It uses heat made by radio waves to kill cancer cells. Ablation means destroying completely. The method is putting RFA  a probe (electrode) that goes through the skin into the tumour. A CT scan is needed so to check that the probe is in exactly the right place. An electrode in the probe creates radiofrequency energy to produce heat and kill the cancer cells. 

Research is being done in Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) technique which uses heat energy produced by the radio waves to destroy the tumor.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA):

It is the technique developed by John Kanzius. RFA uses the heat energy produced by the radio waves to destroy the tumor.

A probe places into the tumor.The probe is connected to the machine.CT scan is done to check the position of the probe.The probe creates radio waves which convert into heat energyHeat destroys the tumor.

Therefore, Research is being done in Radio frequency Ablation (RFA) technique which uses heat energy produced by the radio waves to destroy the tumor.

D. The empty space has no particles to transfer thermal energy.

Explanation: Thermal energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its temperature.

There are three modes of transfer of thermal energy

1.Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two objects.

2. Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

3. Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through space.

As there is empty space between the two layers of glass , the thermal energy cannot be transferred by conduction and thus the beverage remains warm.
