Abstract :
In the present study we have investigated the effect of mobile phone radiation on DNA by using thermal lens technique. Since mobile phone acting as the heat source, it is expected that trapping of heat in the aqueous solution of DNA occur and is leads to reduced thermal diffusivity of the solution. This experiment shed light towards the thermal effects of mobile phone on biological cells.
