Hypothesis

Vineeth Garnepudi proposes creating a thin film to reduce exposure to cell phone radiation. The document outlines a research question about where radiation is emitted from cell phones and whether thin films can limit exposure. It discusses studies linking cell phone radiation to health issues in rats and greater absorption in children's brains. The rationale is that thin films could allow safe cell phone use. The hypothesis is that thin films deposited with elements or composites can reduce radiation exposure without impacting phone design.

Reducing Cell phone exposure: ​Creating a thin film that successfully reduces the exposure of

cell phone radiation.

Research Question:

Where is Rf radiation most located and can placing a thin film deposited with pure elements or

composite materials limit cell phone radiation exposure to the human body?

Hypothesis:

Cell phone radiation has been linked to many health problems, identify where the Rf radiation is

being emitted and using thin films deposited with pure elements or composite materials reduce

the radiation exposure to the human body.

Background/History of the issue:

There have been many studies done on rats that have linked cell phone radiation with health

problems or also known as Rf radiation. Rf radiation is a form of non-ionizing radiation. The

range of the radiation between 3Khz to 300GHz. In one study it found that more cell phone

radiation is absorbed by kids brain compared to the adult brain. This is extremely concerning

since nowadays everywhere you see small kids and children are using a phone. There have been

many reports saying that cell phone radiation is safe and does not affect the human body. The
problem with this statement is cell phones have a recently became popular and it will take time

to see their harmful effects. The technology I will use to prevent radiation exposure is thin films.

Thin films are extremely thin normally from nanometers to nanometers film deposited on a

substrate. That substrate is normally silicon. By depositing pure elements or compoiste material

on a silicon wafer, and placing the the the film in a cell phone, you could limit the exposure and

change the way your cell phone looks like.

Rationale:

I feel like this problem with Rf raditaion is important now more than ever. Every time I am at a

restaurant or at a shop I always observe a young child watching or playing a game on their

parents' phone. If the children brain absorbs the radiation greater than the adult brain it is a huge

health problem since we do not exactly what type of health problems may arise later in their life.

By creating a device that will prevent radiation exposure yet still allow kids and adults to use cell

phones is my goal. I want everyone to enjoy the technology we use every day however I want

everyone to be safe from any unsafe radiation.

Basis of Hypothesis

I based my hypothesis on using thin films to limit the exposure of Rf radiation. I did this because

I believe thin films are the perfect solution to this problem because of how thin they are. Thin

films also won't obstruct the design of the phone that engineers and designers spent hours on

designing it. I based my hypothesis on thin films because many elements or composite materials

can be deposited and reduce radiation.


Operational definiation:

● Rf: Radiofrequency

● Non-ionizing: any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not have the energy to

completely remove a electron from a atom or molecule.

● Substrate: a solid substance where another substnace is applied

Descriptors Used for Literature Search:

● Cell phone radiation
