Human height ~ frequency. Power level and time are the other parameters.

A 6ft tall person’s resonant frequency is 150MHz. 300,000,000 m/s (light) / height(wavelength) = frequency

From what I remember, the higher microwave frequencies have less affect unless they are directed at you or confined like a microwave oven. Then it’s a matter of the resonant frequencies of water.

There is more to it but that’s just an intro.

“The most dangerous frequencies of electromagnetic energy are X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet light and microwaves. X-rays, gamma rays and UV light can damage living tissues, and microwaves can cook them.” -https://sciencing.com/wavelengths-frequencies-dangerous-7487...
