3
Q
Arndt-Shultz principal
A
There will be no reaction if there is not enough energy absorbed to stimulate the tissue
4
Q
Law of Grotthus-Draper
A
There is an inverse relationship between the energy absorbed and the energy allowed to penetrate.
5
Q
Cosine Law
A
A maximum amount of energy is absorbed/transmitted if the energy source is at a right angle to the area being radiated.
6
Q
Inverse square law
A
The intensity of the radiant energy will be affected by the distance between the energy source and the area being radiated.
