The Department of Telecommunication Govt. of India has permitted the manufacture of mobile handsets with _______ W/kg as maximum SAR value.

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) 1.6.
· The Department of Telecommunication (DoT), Government of India, has set the maximum Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value for mobile handsets at 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue. This limit is intended to minimize the exposure of users to electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile devices.
Information Booster:
· SAR Value: It measures the rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body when exposed to a radio frequency electromagnetic field.
· International Standards: The SAR limit in India is in line with the guidelines recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
· Compliance: Mobile manufacturers must ensure that their devices comply with this SAR value to be sold in the Indian market.
