    Lower frequency waves have less strength to penetrate. How bad a wave is all depends on how well it penetrates our bodies. Visible light doesn't penetrate ur skin, but UV rays (higher than visible) can go through our skin, making it bad" for us. High frequency waves have more energy and move faster
