 * Is TV Radiation Safe or Unsafe? **

The negative effects of television radiations are in two forms. Modern TV’s with LCD ( Liquid Crystal Display) screens emit less amount of x-radiation than the old

TV’s, which uses CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). With the old TV’s, you could feel little shocks when you touch the screen. This electromagnetic wave from screen

transmits visible light into our eyes. The light may have a negative effect on our vision.LCD devices are thinner and draw less power than CRT devices that is

why modern laptops,CD players and any electronic device are using LCD technology to reduce the effect of X- radiation.


 * How does television radiation work?**

Television radiation is produced in a thick glass tube called the cathode ray tube.A cathode ray tube works as streams of electrons leave the negative electrode

which is also called the Cathode.The discharged electrons hit the screen surface where the images are produced and transmit light of all colours in the

electromagnetic spectrum to make visible in our eyes. Below is an example of a cathode ray tube.
